BUND TECHS: (U17) 21-DMA Support Now Key
*RES 4: 165.93 Monthly High Apr 18
*RES 3: 165.69 High Aug 29
*RES 2: 165.31 High Aug 30
*RES 1: 164.92 Hourly resistance Sept 1
*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 164.77
*SUP 1: 164.52 Low Sept 1
*SUP 2: 164.36 Low Aug 25
*SUP 3: 164.33 21-DMA
*SUP 4: 164.00 Low Aug 18
*COMMENTARY: The lack of topside follow through Tuesday resulted in a sell-off
that broke the daily bull channel base and sees immediate pressure now on
164.33-52 where the 21-DMA is noted. Bears now look for a close below the 21-DMA
to add weight to the case for a test of 163.16-44 where 55 & 100-DMAs are
located. Bulls now need a close above 154.85 to gain breathing room and above
165.31 to return focus to 165.69-93.
BOBL TECHS: (U17) Channel Base Supporting
*RES 4: 133.60 Daily Bull channel top 
*RES 3: 133.36 High Aug 29 
*RES 2: 133.35 Bollinger band top 
*RES 1: 133.24 High Aug 30
*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 133.08
*SUP 1: 133.04 Daily Bull channel base
*SUP 2: 132.99 Low Sept 1
*SUP 3: 132.94 Low Aug 28
*SUP 4: 132.84 Low Aug 25
*COMMENTARY: The sell-off Friday again leaves the contract looking a little
heavy with the 132.94-133.04 support key. Daily studies looking to correct from
O/B increase the risk of a correction with bears needing a close below 132.94 to
confirm a break of the channel base and shift initial focus back to 132.65-84
where the 21-DMA is noted. Bulls still need a close above 132.24 to end
correction talk and retain focus on the channel top.
SCHATZ TECHS: (U17) Bears Need Close Below 112.240
*RES 4: 112.360 Daily Bull channel top 
*RES 3: 112.300 High Apr 24 now support 
*RES 2: 112.297 Bollinger band top

*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 112.270
*SUP 1: 112.240 Low Aug 30, Daily Bull channel base 
*SUP 2: 112.215 Low Aug 28 
*SUP 3: 112.190 Low Aug 25 
*SUP 4: 112.187 21-DMA
*COMMENTARY: Since sideways trading 112.130-190 ended the contract has attracted
support on dips. Bears continue to look for a close below 112.240 to confirm an
easing of bullish pressure and below 112.215 to shift immediate pressure to
112.175-190 where the 21-DMA is located. Overall below 112.130 is needed to
target 112.054-073. While 112.240 supports immediate focus remains on
112.290-360. O/B studies and the Bollinger top remain concerns for bulls.
GILT TECHS: (Z17) 21-DMA Support Key Today
*RES 4: 127.83 High Aug 29 
*RES 3: 127.71 Bollinger band top 
*RES 2: 127.54 High Aug 30 
*RES 1: 127.44 High Sept 1
*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 126.98
*SUP 1: 126.90 Daily Bull channel base 
*SUP 2: 126.80 Low Aug 24 
*SUP 3: 126.71 21-DMA 
*SUP 4: 126.49 Low Aug 23
*COMMENTARY: Lower daily highs and lows the latter part of last week are
weighing with a dip below the bull channel base Friday and focus now on the
21-DMA. Bears need a close below the 21-DMA to confirm an easing of bullish
pressure and to shift focus to 125.94-126.49 where 55 & 100-DMAs are noted.
Bulls look for a close above 127.54 to return focus to 127.83-128.05 where the
bull channel top it noted.
SHORT-STERLING TECHS: (Z17) Bulls Focused On 99.680-713

*SUP 2: 99.638 21-DMA, Bull channel base
*SUP 3: 99.630 Repeated Daily Lows Aug
*SUP 4: 99.620 Low Aug 8 & 9
*COMMENTARY: Sideways trading 99.630-650 came to an end Tuesday with fresh 2mth
highs reconfirming the bullish bias and seeing bulls focused on 99.680-713 where
the bull channel top is noted. Layers of support remain with bears needing a
close below 99.630 to ease bullish pressure and below 99.610 to pressure 55
(99.586) & 100 (99.600) DMAs. The Bollinger top remains the key concern for
bulls.
EURIBOR TECHS: (H18) Bears Need Close Below 100.300

*RES 3: 100.330 - High Oct 19

*SUP 3: 100.288 - 55-DMA
*SUP 4: 100.285 - Repeated daily lows July & Aug
*COMMENTARY: Pressure on 100.315 took its toll with fresh 2017 and 11mth highs
that add support to the case for a test of the 100.330-370 resistance region.
The Bollinger top is the key concern and currently limits follow through. Layers
of support remain with bears needing a close below 100.300 to ease bullish
pressure and below 100.285 to signal a correction that initially targets the
100-DMA (100.276). While 100.300 supports bull continue to target 100.330-370.

high Friday is a concern for bulls with the Bollinger top (127-120) limiting
follow through and daily studies correcting from O/B. Layers of support remain
with bears needing a close below the daily bull channel base to hint at a move
back to 125-290/126-070 where 55 & 100-DMAs are noted. Bulls now need a close
above 127-060 to gain breathing room.
