*SUP 4: 97.675 - 2018 Low Apr 24
*COMMENTARY: Support emerging ahead of 2018 lows last week has provided the

of resistance 97.801-884 where 55, 100 & 200-DMAs and a bear channel top are
noted. The 21-DMA is now initial support but bears look for a close below 97.735
to return initial focus to 97.675-700 where 2018 lows are noted.

channel base (97.1024). Bulls take comfort in the close above the 21-DMA that
sees focus now back on 97.2136-3179 where key DMAs and WMAs are situated. Daily
studies are well placed for gains with correcting O/S studies adding support to
the bullish case. Bears now need a close below 97.1500 to ease renewed bullish

21-DMA and 119-07 level with focus shifting to 119-30+/120-06+ where the 55-DMA
is located. Daily studies are well placed for further gains. Bears now look for
