BUND TECHS: (Z17) 162.47 Resistance Key
*RES 4: 163.11 Hourly resistance Sept 8
*RES 3: 162.89 High Sept 11
*RES 2: 162.47 Alternating hourly support/resistance
*RES 1: 162.15 Hourly support Sept 12 now resistance
*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 161.75
*SUP 1: 161.50 Low Aug 25
*SUP 2: 161.14 Low Aug 18
*SUP 3: 160.77 Daily Bull channel base
*SUP 4: 160.58 100-DMA
*COMMENTARY: Bears capitalised on Friday's sell-off with the contract gaining
traction below the 21-DMA (162.07) and remaining heavy. Layers of resistance
remain with bulls now needing a close above 162.15 to gain breathing room and
above 162.47 to shift focus back to 162.89-163.43. While 162.47 caps bears now
target 160.39-77 where 55 & 100-DMAs and the bull channel base are located.
Daily studies are well placed for further downside before O/S becomes an issue.
BOBL TECHS: (Z17) 131.42 Support Remains Key
*RES 4: 131.87 Hourly resistance Sept 8 
*RES 3: 131.74 Low Sept 11 now resistance 
*RES 2: 131.64 Alternating hourly support/resistance

*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 131.48
*SUP 1: 131.42 Low Sept 11 & 13
*SUP 2: 131.27 Low Aug 25
*SUP 3: 131.25 Daily Bull channel base
*SUP 4: 131.12 Low Aug 18
*COMMENTARY: The contract remains a little heavy with the daily bull channel top
having recently capped and provided the catalyst for dips below the 21-DMA
(131.49). Bears need a close below 131.42 to shift pressure to the daily bull
channel base off July lows. Layers of resistance remain and weigh with bulls
needing a close above 131.64 to ease bearish pressure and above 131.87 to shift
focus back to the channel top (132.13).
SCHATZ TECHS: (Z17) Bears Focused On 112.135-165

*SUP 3: 112.152 21-DMA 
*SUP 4: 112.135 Low Aug 30
*COMMENTARY: Following on from the bull channel top capping last week bears take
comfort in a marginal close below the bull channel base (112.200) with immediate
focus currently on 112.135-165 where the 21-DMA is noted. Bears look for a close
below 112.135 to end bullish hopes and below 112.090 to target 111.985-112.015
where the 55-DMA is situated. Bulls need a close above 112.225 to gain breathing
room and above 112.285 to reconfirm the bullish bias.

*SUP 2: 126.00 Low Sept 13 
*SUP 3: 125.95 55-DMA 
*SUP 4: 125.63 Low July 25
*COMMENTARY: Pressure on the 21-DMA and daily bull channel base took its toll
Tuesday with an aggressive sell-off and bearish close that leaves immediate
bearish pressure on the 55-DMA. Bears look for a close below the 55-DMA to shift
initial focus to 125.63 and overall focus back to 124.71. Layers of resistance
continue to weigh with bulls needing a close above 126.49 to gain breathing room
and above 127.18 to shift focus back to 128.24.

below the 200-DMA Tuesday that sees bears looking for a close below 99.540 to
confirm focus on the 99.470-480 support region where monthly lows are located.
Layers of resistance are weighing with bulls still needing a close above the
100-DMA to shift focus back to 99.620-640. Bears now look for a close below
99.570 to retain initial pressure on 99.540.
EURIBOR TECHS: (H18) Bears Need Close Below 100.310
*RES 4: 100.360 - High Oct 6 
*RES 3: 100.330 - High Oct 19

*SUP 3: 100.293 - 55-DMA
*SUP 4: 100.282 - 100-DMA
*COMMENTARY: The dips below the 21-DMA and daily bull channel base are less than
ideal but follow through has so far been lacking. Bears now look for a close
below 100.300 to ease bullish pressure and below 100.275 to signal a correction
that initially targets the 200-DMA (100.254). Until a close below 100.300 is
seen bulls remain focused on 100.325-360 where 2017 highs and levels last seen
in Oct are located.

*SUP 3: 126-010 - Low Aug 17

correction and close below the bull channel base (126-170) with bearish focus on
125-310/126-060 where the 55-DMA is located. Daily studies have room to move
before O/S becomes an issue. Layers of resistance continue to build and weigh
with bulls needing a close above 126-270 to gain breathing room and above
127-190 to reconfirm focus on 127-280/128-220.

studies have room to move before O/B becomes an issue. Layers of support
continue to build with bears needing a close below 2.171 to gain breathing room
and below 2.118 to ease renewed bullish pressure and shift initial focus back to
2.075. Above the 100-DMA initially pressures the bear channel top (2.266).

3615.06 and overall focus to 2017 highs (3666.80). Layers of support remain and
add support to the bullish case. Bears still need a close below 3497.29 to ease
