Whilst the main market saw minor weak chop, there was notable strength in Chesapeake Energy (CHK), which settled up a rather significant 2.1% @ $26.99. A new multi-week up cycle appears underway, primary target zone is 30/32.

Summary
Suffice to say, CHK remains one of my favourite Nat' gas companies. It has seen some noticeable chop this year, but with underlying upside throughout.
Today's candle was a bullish engulfing candle, and bodes for further gains into September.
The $32 high from summer 2011 remains a very valid target.
