The downtick was in tandem with rising open interest, which favours further decline in the very near term, while the moderate drop in volume could slow the pace/extension of that potential move. Extra gains in natural gas, in the meantime, need to clear the $5.00 mark per MMBtu on a sustainable fashion.
