*COMMENTARY: The 164.00 support provided the base for Monday's rally with the
close above 164.21 seeing immediate focus back to 164.64-89 where the falling
daily TL is noted. Bull now look for a close above the falling daily TL to
confirm focus on tests of 165.44-55 where June highs are situated. Layers of
support remain with bears needing a close below 163.69 to ease immediate bullish
pressure and below the 55-DMA (163.17) to target 162.50-63.

*COMMENTARY: Pressure remains on layers of resistance 132.92-95 with bulls
needing a close above to confirm initial focus on 133.26 June highs. Daily
studies looking to correct from O/B and the Bollinger top are key concerns for
bulls. In saying that, higher daily highs and lows see support layers building
and bears needing a close below 132.76 to gain breathing room and hint at a
correction back to 132.17-48 where key DMAs are clustered.
SCHATZ TECHS: (U17) Above 112.190 Targets 112.230/280

*SUP 4: 112.110 21-DMA
*COMMENTARY: Sideways trading 112.130-190 appears to have ended with a bullish
close above 112.190 that now sees bulls focused on the 112.230-280 region where
June highs and the daily bull channel top are located. Studies lingering at O/B
levels and the Bollinger top are key concern for bulls. Bears now need a close
below 112.160 to return pressure to 112.110-140 where 21 & 100-DMAs and the
21-WMA are situated.

*SUP 2: 127.52 Low Aug 18 
*SUP 3: 127.22 Low Aug 16 
*SUP 4: 127.06 Low Aug 9
*COMMENTARY: Support emerging ahead of the 126.54-127.22 has provided the
catalyst for pressure to remain on the 128.24 resistance. Bulls continue to look
for a close above 128.24 to reconfirm the bullish bias and initially target
128.68-129.19. O/B daily studies remain a concern for bulls. In saying that,
bears still need a close below 127.52 to ease pressure on 128.24 and see focus
return to layers of support 126.54-127.22.

but bears now look for a close below the 21-DMA to shift focus to 55 & 100-DMAs

potential to limit follow through.

situated. Layers of resistance are accumulating and weighing with bulls needing
