UP World LNG Shipping Index resumes its advance to ~228 points following last week's correction. The chart confirms a decisive breakout above long-term 2025 resistance levels, with momentum accelerating from late December. The attack on Iran and Qatari LNG export disruptions intensified the rally into uncharted territory. Bollinger Bands show dramatic wideningโ€”the recent pullback to ~213 points briefly alleviated technical pressure before this week's renewed advance.
