AUSSIE TECHS: Bull Channel Base Supporting
*RES 4: $0.8044 - High Aug 1
*RES 3: $0.7998 - Hourly resistance Aug 1
*RES 2: $0.7963 - High Aug 17
*RES 1: $0.7917 - 21-DMA
*PRICE: $0.7900 @ 2100GMT

*SUP 2: $0.7863 - Low Aug 24 
*SUP 3: $0.7849 - Hourly support Aug 16 
*SUP 4: $0.7807 - Low Aug 15
*COMMENTARY: The lack of topside follow through on the break of $0.7949 last
week was less than ideal for bulls. In saying that, yet another correction is
finding support around the daily bull channel base. Bears now look for a close
below $0.7863 to confirm an easing of bullish pressure & to shift focus back to
$0.7710-0.7807 where the 55-DMA ($0.7774) is noted. Bulls still need a close
above $0.7963 to shift focus back to $0.8044-65 where 2017 highs are found.

*SUP 3: $0.7167 - 100-DMA 
*SUP 4: $0.7124 - 200-DMA
*COMMENTARY: The break of the $0.7277 support was noted as a concern for bulls
and sees bears focused on the $0.7115-70 region where 100 & 200-DMAs are
situated. Layers of resistance continue to build and weigh on the pair with
bulls needing a close above $0.7235 to gain breathing room and above $0.7273 now
to shift focus back to $0.7317-0.7348 where 21 & 55-DMAs are located.

*SUP 4: NZ$1.0840 - Hourly support Aug 22
*COMMENTARY: Bulls take comfort in support emerging on dips back towards the
21-DMA and channel base which provided the catalyst for a break higher that
reconfirmed the bullish bias and sees bulls focused on NZ$1.0966-1.1034. Bulls
need a close above NZ$1.1034 to confirm focus on NZ$1.1147-95. Support layers
are following the pair higher with bears now needing a close below NZ$1.0880 to
ease bullish pressure and shift focus back to NZ$1.0794-1.0817.

(A$1.4824) DMAs last week with the pair bouncing from ahead of the 100-DMA. The
close above A$1.4928 shifted immediate focus to layers of resistance
A$1.4989-1.5109 where the bear channel top is located. Layers of support remain
with bears now needing a close below A$1.4880 to ease immediate bullish pressure
and below A$1.4739 to shift focus to A$1.4442-1.4561.

likely to be the key concern. Layers of resistance remain with bulls needing a
close above 93.791 to shift focus back to the key 94.145-476 region. Above
94.476 then confirms focus on 95.005-464 where the 55-DMA (95.005) is situated.
