*COMMENTARY: The 55 & 100-DMAs (160.69-87) supported last week providing the

impetus for a break of 160.50 with bullish focus now on 162.15. Bulls continue

to look for a close above 162.15 to shift focus back to 162.89-163.43.

Correcting modestly O/S studies add support to the bullish case. Layers of

support are building with bears needing a close below 161.62 to gain breathing

room and below 161.31 to shift focus back to 160.50-87.

BOBL TECHS: (Z17) Hesitating Ahead of 21-DMA

*COMMENTARY: The 55-DMA (131.02) supported last week and provided the impetus

for a rally to start the week that sees immediate pressure on the 21-DMA. Bulls

continue to look for a close above 131.64 to confirm a break of the 21-DMA and

target 131.83-98. Correcting O/S studies add support to the bullish case. Bears

need a close below 131.31 to ease bullish pressure and below 131.16 to shift

focus back to the 55-DMA.

*SUP 4: 112.065 Low Sept 21

*COMMENTARY: The lack of follow through Wed-Fri courtesy of the Bollinger band

base provided the impetus for a correction Monday that sees the contract

flirting with the 21-DMA (112.172). Bulls need a close above 112.180 to confirm

a break of the 21-DMA and initially pressure 112.230-285 where the 100-DMA

(112.245) is located. Bears now need a close below 112.145 to gain breathing

room and below 112.120 to shift focus back to 112.065 Sept lows.

(99.508).

where the 100-DMA is located. Modestly O/S studies correcting add support to the

bullish case for a return in pressure to 100.325-330 with bulls now needing a

close above 100.315 to confirm. Bollinger bands (100.303-323) remain flat as

broad sideways trading continues.

*COMMENTARY: Bears take comfort in hesitation around the 55-DMA with bulls

continuing to look for a close above 126-090 to hint at a correction back to

126-270. O/S daily studies correcting add support to the case for a bigger

correction. The 125-170/230 support is now key. Bears need a close below 125-230

to ease renewed bullish pressure and below 125-170 to shift focus to July lows

(124-140).

where the 21-DMA is located. Layers of resistance are building with bulls

needing a close above 2.266 to return immediate pressure to 2.290 and overall

focus to 2.328-337 where the 200-DMA is noted. Correcting O/B studies remain a

concern for bulls.

*COMMENTARY: Hesitation ahead of 3555.37 continues and remains a concern for

bulls who need a close above 3555.37 to confirm initial focus on 3615.06 and

overall focus on 2017 highs. Momentum divergence and O/B studies remain the key

concern for bulls. Support layers remain in place with bears needing a close

below 3529.19 to gain breathing room and below 3497.29 to shift initial focus

back to 3446.08-3475.64 where key DMAs are clustered.
