of 2017 highs. Layers of support are accumulating with bears needing a close
below 161.57 to ease bullish pressure and below 161.03 to shift focus back to
160.24-59. Below 159.58 is needed to shift focus to 2017 lows.

have not been disappointed with immediate pressure on key resistance layers.
Bulls continue to look for a close above 131.64 to end bearish hopes and target
131.83-98 where Sept highs are noted. Support layers are building with bears now
needing a close below 131.37 to ease bullish pressure and shift initial focus
back to 131.13.
SCHATZ TECHS: (Z17) 112.230 Resistance Remains Key
*RES 4: 112.285 Monthly high Sept 8

*COMMENTARY: Dips found support ahead of the 55-DMA (112.117) last week with
bulls taking comfort in pressure having returned to the key 112.230 resistance.
Bulls continue to look for a close above 112.230 to end bearish hopes and
confirm initial focus on 112.285. Support layers are building with bears now
needing a close below 112.170 to ease bullish pressure and return pressure to
the 112.065-125 support region where the 55-DMA and Sept lows are noted.
GILT TECHS: (Z17) Narrowed Bolli Bands Suggest Breakout
*RES 4: 124.65 High Sept 19

*RES 1: 124.10 High Oct 13
*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 123.90
*SUP 1: 123.46 Low Oct 13 
*SUP 2: 123.29 Hourly support Sept 28 
*SUP 3: 123.12 Low Sept 28 
*SUP 4: 122.60 2017 Low Jan 26
*COMMENTARY: The 124.36 resistance confirmed has confirmed significance with the
contract rallying only to be capped at this level in past weeks. Bulls still
need a close above 124.36 to gain breathing room with above 124.65 to shift
immediate focus to 125.21. Bears still need a close below 123.32 to retain focus
on 123.12 and overall focus on 122.60 2017 lows. Very narrow Bolli bands suggest
a break out near term.
SHORT-STERLING TECHS: (H18) 99.360 Resistance Remains Key

*RES 3: 99.410 High Sept 15

*SUP 4: 99.110 Monthly Low June 23 2016
*COMMENTARY: Sideways trading 99.310-360 continues with bears needing a close
below 99.310 to reconfirm a bearish bias and target 99.110-230. Key resistance
is still noted at 99.360 with bulls needing a close above to gain breathing
room. A close above 99.410 is again needed to shift focus to 99.477-520 where
55, 100 & 200-DMAs are clustered. Momentum studies have corrected their
previously O/S condition and are well placed for a fresh leg lower.
EURIBOR TECHS: (H18) 100.300 & 100.315 Levels Remain Key

*SUP 4: 100.285 - Repeated daily lows

recently, bears need a close below 100.300 to confirm a break and initially
pressure 100.285-295. The contract managed closes above the 21-DMA (100.309)
with bulls still needing a close above 100.315 to return focus to 100.325-300.
Overall bears need a close below 100.285 to confirm a break of the 100-DMA and
below 100.275 to target the 200-DMA (100.262).
US 10-YR FUTURE TECHS: (Z17) Bulls Focused On 125-290/126-09
*RES 4: 126-040 - Highs Sept 25 & 26 
*RES 3: 126-030 - 55-DMA 
*RES 2: 125-290 - 100-DMA 
*RES 1: 125-250 - High Oct 13
*PRICE: 125-190 @ 0430GMT

*SUP 3: 125-100 - Low Oct 13
*SUP 4: 125-050 - Hourly support Oct 11
*COMMENTARY: The close above the 21-DMA (125-160) Friday sees bulls now focused
on the 125-290/090 region where 55 & 100-DMAs are situated after correcting O/S
studies provided support last week. Layers of support are accumulating and also
adding to bullish confidence. Bears now look for a close below 125-150 to ease
renewed bullish pressure and below 125-100 to shift focus back to 124-220.
US 10-YR YIELD TECHS: Focus on 2.208-2.245

*RES 3: 2.334 - High Oct 13 
*RES 2: 2.315 - 200-DMA 
*RES 1: 2.302 - Hourly resistance Oct 13
*PRICE: 2.294 @ 0430GMT
*SUP 1: 2.245 - High Sept 26 now support 
*SUP 2: 2.236 - 100-DMA 
*SUP 3: 2.231 - 55-DMA 
*SUP 4: 2.208 - Low Sept 18
*COMMENTARY: Pressure on the 200-DMA took its toll with a break and close below
the 200 & 21 (2.294) DMAs and the key 2.284 support that now sees immediate
pressure having shifted to 2.208-2.245 where 55 & 100-DMAs are noted. Correcting
O/B studies add weight to the bearish case. Bulls now need a close above the
200-DMA to ease immediate bearish pressure and above 2.402 to return initial
focus to 2.437.
EUROSTOXX50 TECHS: Fresh 5mth Highs Lacking Follow Through 
*RES 4: 3668.54 Daily Bull channel

*SUP 4: 3569.49 Hourly support Sept 29
*COMMENTARY: Topside follow through was again lacking Friday following fresh
5mth highs by the smallest of margins. Bulls continue to look for a close above
3618.35 to add support to the case for a test of 3666.80-3668.54 where the daily
bull channel top and 2017 highs are situated. Initial support remains at 3589.98
with bears needing a close below 3582.07 to confirm a correction and below
3556.50 to confirm focus on 3497.29-3529.19.
