AUSSIE TECHS: Gaining Traction Above 100-DMA
*RES 4: $0.7907 - Hourly support Sept 22 now resistance
*RES 3: $0.7918 - 55-DMA
*RES 2: $0.7880 - 21-DMA
*RES 1: $0.7840 - Hourly resistance Oct 5
*PRICE: $0.7824 @ 2000GMT
*SUP 1: $0.7799 - Hourly resistance Oct 12 now support 
*SUP 2: $0.7765 - Low Oct 11 
*SUP 3: $0.7733 - Low Oct 6 
*SUP 4: $0.7712 - High June 30 now support
*COMMENTARY: The pair is currently gaining traction above the 100-DMA ($0.7794)
with a likely close above $0.7809 to add support to the case for a bounce back
to 21 & 55-DMAs ($0.7880-0.7918). Correcting O/S studies add support to the case
for a correction. Layers of support are building with bears now needing a close
below $0.7765 to ease renewed bullish pressure and below $0.7712 to focus on the
200-DMA ($0.7674).
KIWI TECHS: Bulls Need Close Above 200-DMA
*RES 4: $0.7261 - 100-DMA 
*RES 3: $0.7203 - 21-DMA 
*RES 2: $0.7157 - 200-DMA 
*RES 1: $0.7146 - Low Oct 4 now resistance
*PRICE: $0.7134 @ 2000GMT
*SUP 1: $0.7102 - Hourly support Oct 12
*SUP 2: $0.7055 - Low Oct 9
*SUP 3: $0.7031 - Low May 30
*SUP 4: $0.6985 - Low May 23
*COMMENTARY: Daily studies looking to correct higher are providing bulls support
with immediate focus having returned to the 200-DMA. Bulls need a close above
the 200-DMA to hint at a correction back to $0.7203-61 where 21, 55 & 100-DMAs
are noted. Correcting O/S studies remain the key concern for bears who need a
close below $0.7102 to ease immediate bullish pressure and below $0.7031 to
target $0.6950.
AUSSIE-KIWI TECHS: Topside Failures Taking Their Toll
*RES 4: NZ$1.1107 - High Sept 12
*RES 3: NZ$1.1057 - Hourly support Sept 15a now resistance
*RES 2: NZ$1.1025 - Hourly support Sept 15 now resistance
*RES 1: NZ$1.0977 - Hourly support Oct 11 now resistance
*PRICE: NZ$1.0970 @ 2000GMT
*SUP 1: NZ$1.0944 - Low Oct 9
*SUP 2: NZ$1.0934 - 21-DMA
*SUP 3: NZ$1.0925 - Hourly support Oct
*SUP 4: NZ$1.0906 - 55-DMA
*COMMENTARY: The recovery from Sept lows resulted in a gapping move higher
Monday only to remain capped ahead of NZ$1.1025. Bulls need a close above
NZ$1.1025 to shift focus to NZ$1.1107-42. Topside hesitation has taken its toll
with the pair looking heavy and focus on 55 & 21-DMAs. bears now need a close
below the the 55-DMA (NZ$1.0906) to shift focus back to NZ$1.0798-1.0824 and
below NZ$1.0798 to target 100 (NZ$1.0731) & 200 (NZ$1.0720) DMAs.
AUSSIE-YEN TECHS: Bulls Need Close Above Y88.03
*RES 4: Y88.90 - High Sept 27 
*RES 3: Y88.74 - High Oct 5 
*RES 2: Y88.38 - Hourly resistance Oct 5a 
*RES 1: Y88.03 - Hourly resistance Oct 5
*PRICE: Y87.83 @ 2000GMT
*SUP 1: Y87.66 - Hourly support Oct 12
*SUP 2: Y87.23 - Low Oct 10
*SUP 3: Y87.06 - Bollinger band base
*SUP 4: Y86.60 - 100-DMA
*COMMENTARY: The break of the daily bull channel base and closes below the
55-DMA have failed to break the Y87.23 support with bears needing a close below
to shift immediate focus to the 100-DMA and overall focus to Y85.45-82 where the
200-DMA is noted. The Y88.03 resistance remains key. Bulls need a close above
Y88.03 to shift focus back to Y88.74-90. Correcting O/S studies add to the case
for a correction but Y88.03 is key.
EURO-AUSSIE TECHS: Looking Heavy, A$1.5104 Support Key Today 
*RES 4: A$1.5364 - High June 16 2016
*RES 3: A$1.5298 - High June 20 2016
*RES 2: A$1.5243 - 2017 High Oct 11
*RES 1: A$1.5178 - Hourly resistance Oct 12
*PRICE: A$1.5120 @ 2000GMT
*SUP 1: A$1.5104 - Low Oct 10 
*SUP 2: A$1.5079 - Hourly support Oct 9a 
*SUP 3: A$1.5014 - 21-DMA 
*SUP 4: A$1.4995 - Hourly support Oct 5
*COMMENTARY: Despite recent fresh 2017 highs and a bullish close Wednesday bulls
have failed to trouble the A$1.5298 resistance with the pair looking a little
heavy and immediate pressure back on A$1.5104 as resistance layers build. Bears
now look for a close below A$1.5108 to add weight to the case for a correction
back to A$1.4903-1.5014 where the bull channel base, 21, 55 & 100-DMAs are
situated. Bulls need a close above A$1.5178 to gain breathing room.
US DOLLAR-INDEX TECHS: 92.724 Support Confirms Significance
*RES 4: 93.623 - Hourly support Oct 9 now resistance 
*RES 3: 93.472 - Hourly resistance Oct 10a 
*RES 2: 93.369 - High Oct 11 
*RES 1: 93.121 - Hourly resistance Oct 11
*PRICE: 93.070 @ 2030GMT
*SUP 1: 92.953 - Hourly resistance Oct 12 now support
*SUP 2: 92.797 - Low Oct 12
*SUP 3: 92.724 - High Sept 25 now support
*SUP 4: 92.586 - Daily Bull channel base
*COMMENTARY: The sell-off from ahead of the 100-DMA has now resulted in dips
below the 21 (92.916) 55 (92.904) DMAs only to find support ahead of the key
92.724 level. Below 92.724 remains needed to confirm breaks of DMAs and to shift
overall focus to 2017 lows. Layers of resistance are accumulating with bulls
needing a close above 93.369 to gain breathing room and above 94.476 to shift
focus to 95.167-464.
EURO-DOLLAR TECHS: Capped Ahead Of Bear Channel Top
*RES 4: $1.2019 High Sept 20 
*RES 3: $1.1894 Daily Bear channel top 
*RES 2: $1.1880 High Oct 12 
*RES 1: $1.1853 Hourly resistance Oct 12
*PRICE: $1.1836 @ 1930GMT
*SUP 1: $1.1795 Hourly support Oct 10 
*SUP 2: $1.1756 Hourly resistance Oct 9 now support 
*SUP 3: $1.1739 Hourly support Oct 10 
*SUP 4: $1.1716 Hourly resistance Oct 6 now support
*COMMENTARY: The break of the $1.1862 resistance has so far lacked follow
through with the pair capped ahead of the daily bear channel top Thursday. The
$1.1795 support remains key today. Bears continue to look for a close below
$1.1795 to shift focus back to the $1.1583-1.1661 region. While $1.1795 supports
bulls look for a close above the channel top to add support to the case for a
test of $1.2019-92.
DOLLAR-YEN TECHS: Bulls Need Close Above Y112.89
*RES 4: Y113.44 High Oct 6 
*RES 3: Y113.18 Hourly support Oct 6 now resistance 
*RES 2: Y112.89 Hourly resistance Oct 6 
*RES 1: Y112.58 High Oct 11
*PRICE: Y112.21 @ 1930GMT
*SUP 1: Y112.13 Low Oct 12 
*SUP 2: Y111.82 200-DMA 
*SUP 3: Y111.48 Low Sept 25 
*SUP 4: Y111.11 100-DMA
*COMMENTARY: Bulls failed to capitalise on the bounce from 21 & 200-DMAs Tuesday
with pressure having returned to these supports. Bears remain focused on the
200-DMA with a close below needed to pressure Y111.48 and below this level to
shift focus to 55 (Y110.67) & 100 (111.11) DMAs. Below the 55-DMA hints at a
move back to 2017 lows with below Y109.52 to confirm. Bulls look for a close
above Y112.89 to ease pressure on key supports and initially target Y113.44-70.
SPOT GOLD TECHS: Bears Need Close Below $1284.5
*RES 4: $1334.8 - High Sept 13 
*RES 3: $1320.0 - High Sept 18 
*RES 2: $1313.6 - High Sept 26 
*RES 1: $1297.3 - High Oct 12
*PRICE: $1293.6 @ 2030GMT
*SUP 1: $1289.6 - Low Oct 12 
*SUP 2: $1284.5 - Low Oct 11 
*SUP 3: $1277.6 - Hourly resistance Oct 6 now support 
*SUP 4: $1270.7 - Hourly support Oct 6
*COMMENTARY: The break of $1296.4 has so far lacked follow through which is less
than ideal for bulls who are now targeting $1313.6-1320.0. Support layers are
building with bears now needing a close below $1284.5 to confirm an easing of
bullish pressure and below $1277.6 to shift focus back to $1243.1-1260.5 where
the 200-DMA and bull channel base are situated. Bulls now need a close above
$1297.3 to add support to their case.
