AUSSIE 3-YR TECHS: (U17) 97.980 & 98.090 Levels Remain Key 
*RES 4: 98.129 - 100-DMA 
*RES 3: 98.090 - High Aug 4 
*RES 2: 98.077 - 55-DMA

*SUP 2: 97.997 - Bollinger band base 
*SUP 3: 97.980 - Alternating daily support/resistance 
*SUP 4: 97.940 - Low July 26
*COMMENTARY: Support emerging ahead of the key 97.980 level last week has bought
bulls breathing room reconfirming focus on 98.072-129 where key DMAs are
situated. The 97.980 support remains key this week with bears needing a close
below this level to add weight to the case for a move back to 97.810-860.
Narrowing Bollinger bands remain suggestive of a break out in the near future.
Daily studies at neutral levels are providing few clues at present.

Bears need a close below 97.3150 to confirm breaks of 21 (97.3450) & 200

focus on 127-010/090 where the 200-WMA is located. Bears now look for a close
below 126-180 to ease bullish pressure and shift focus back to layers of support
125-290/126-110.

ahead of this level and the sell-off resulting in bearish closes last week.

situated. Layers of resistance are accumulating and weighing with bulls needing
a close above 2.229 to ease bearish pressure and above 2.264 to shift initial

*SUP 4: 150.42 - 200-DMA
*COMMENTARY: Gains continue for the contract with immediate bullish focus on
150.89-92. Daily studies at O/B levels and looking to correct and the proximity
of the Bollinger top (150.80) remain key concerns for bulls with potential to
limit follow through. Initial support is now noted at 150.69 with bears needing
a close below to ease immediate bullish pressure and hint at a dip back towards
layers of support 150.32-50 where key DMAs are situated.
