AUSSIE TECHS: Heavy & Pressuring 55-DMA
*RES 4: $0.8068 - Hourly support Sept 20a now resistance, Bollinger top
*RES 3: $0.8036 - High Sept 21
*RES 2: $0.7983 - Low Sept 20 now resistance
*RES 1: $0.7945 - Hourly resistance Sept 20
*PRICE: $0.7927 @ 2100GMT
*SUP 1: $0.7916 - 55-DMA 
*SUP 2: $0.7891 - Bollinger band base 
*SUP 3: $0.7863 - Low Aug 24 
*SUP 4: $0.7807 - Monthly Low Aug 15
*COMMENTARY: Pressure on the daily bull channel base has taken its toll with an
aggressive break and close below that sees immediate pressure on the 55-DMA.
Bears continue to look for a close below the 55-DMA to end bullish hopes,
shifting immediate focus to $0.7863 and overall focus to $0.7781-0.7807. Layers
of resistance continue to accumulate and weigh with bulls now needing a close
above $0.8037 to shift focus back to 2017 highs.
KIWI TECHS: Bears Need Close Below $0.7293
*RES 4: $0.7433 - High Sept 20 
*RES 3: $0.7377 - Hourly support Sept 20a now resistance 
*RES 2: $0.7364 - High Sept 21 
*RES 1: $0.7341 - Hourly resistance Sept 21
*PRICE: $0.7306 @ 2100GMT
*SUP 1: $0.7293 - Hourly support Sept 19
*SUP 2: $0.7272 - Hourly support Sept 19a
*SUP 3: $0.7248 - Low Sept 18
*SUP 4: $0.7210 - Hourly support Sept 14
*COMMENTARY: Wednesday's lack of topside follow through has been followed up
with losses that leave the pair looking heavy and pressuring $0.7293. Bears
continue to look for a close below $0.7293 to confirm an easing of bullish
pressure and below $0.7248 to shift focus back to $0.7130-82 where the 200-DMA
and Aug monthly lows are noted. Bulls need a close above $0.7377 return focus to
$0.7433-58.
AUSSIE-KIWI TECHS: Bears Need Close Below NZ$1.0798
*RES 4: NZ$1.0994 - High Sept 18
*RES 3: NZ$1.0978 - High Sept 20
*RES 2: NZ$1.0940 - Hourly resistance Sept 20

*SUP 3: NZ$1.0698 - 100-DMA
*SUP 4: NZ$1.0682 - 200-DMA
*COMMENTARY: Losses have defined this week with pressure now on the 55-DMA.
Bears look for a close below NZ$1.0798 to confirm a break of the 55-DMA and to
shift focus to 100 & 200-DMAs. The Bollinger base (NZ$1.0865) and studies
approaching O/S are less than ideal for bears. Resistance layers accumulating
adds weight to the bearish case with bulls needing a close above NZ$1.0888 to
ease immediate bearish pressure and above the 21-DMA to shift focus higher.

*SUP 3: Y88.33 - Hourly resistance Sept 14 now support
*SUP 4: Y87.66 - Low Sept 15
*COMMENTARY: A bearish key day reversal following fresh 2017 highs is a concern
for bulls given daily studies looking to correct from O/B, the Bolli top
(Y89.71) limiting follow through and daily momentum divergence. bears now look
for a close below Y88.54 to pressure Y87.53-66. Layers of resistance are
accumulating with bulls needing a close above Y89.73 to ease renewed bearish
pressure and return focus to Y90.31-91.90.

support around the 100 (A$1.4769)0 & 200 (A$1.4755) WMAs which provided the
catalyst for an aggressive rally and bullish close. Bulls now look for a close
above A$1.5093 to confirm focus on A$1.5172-1.5226 where 2017 highs are
situated. Bears now look for a close below the 21-DMA to ease pressure on
resistance layers and below A$1.4790 to target A$1.4521-65.

Bears still need a close below $1.1822 to shift initial focus to the 55-DMA
($1.1773) and overall focus to $1.1583-1.1658. Bulls now look for a close below
$1.1984 to shift focus back to $1.2033-1.2092 where the Bollinger top ($1.2037)
& 2017 highs are situated.

the 200-DMA (Y112.18). Immediate focus is currently Y112.85 with overall focus
on tests of July monthly highs. O/B studies and the Bollinger top (Y112.38)
remain key concerns for bulls. Layers of support accumulating add to bullish
confidence with bears needing a close below Y111.88 to gain breathing room and
below Y110.99 to shift focus lower.

*COMMENTARY: Pressure on the 21-DMA took its toll with closes below resulting in
a close below $1294.4 with immediate focus shifting to 55 & 100-DMAs. Bears now
look for a close below the 200-DMA ($1244.4) to initially pressure the daily
bull channel base ($1234.8). The Bollinger base is the key concern for bears
with potential to limit follow through. Bulls now need a close above $1304.6 to
gain breathing room and above $1320.0 to shift immediate focus to $1342.1.
