*COMMENTARY: Rallies the past two weeks have remained capped ahead of the daily
bear channel top with the pair ending the week on a heavy note and immediate
focus on $1.1731 to start the new week. Bears need a close below $1.1731 to
reconfirm focus on $1.1583-1.1669. Resistance layers building are weighing with
layers of resistance $1.1826-80 key. Bulls continue to look for a close above
$1.1880 to shift focus back to $1.2033.

*SUP 4: $1.2995 High Sept 1 now support
*COMMENTARY: Bears failed to capitalise on dips below the 55-DMA ($1.3148) last
week with the pair bouncing back towards layers of resistance. Bulls now need a
close above the 21-DMA to ease bearish pressure and above $1.3343 to end bearish
hopes and shift focus to $1.3461-1.3595. Bears now look for a close below
$1.3161 to gain breathing room and below $1.2995 to shift focus to the 200-DMA
($1.2822).
     DOLLAR-YEN TECHS: Immediate Focus On Y114.49
*RES 4: Y117.53 High Jan 9

*SUP 4: Y112.74 Hourly resistance Oct 19 now support
*COMMENTARY: Support on dips below the 21-DMA (Y112.58) last week resulted in a
bullish close Friday and a gapping move higher to start the new week that sees
immediate focus on Y114.49 July highs. Bulls now look for a close above Y114.49
to pressure the Y115.34-115.62 region where further monthly highs are noted.
Bears now look for a close below Y113.06 to ease immediate bullish pressure and
below Y112.30 to shift focus back to Y110.96-111.73 where key DMAs are noted.

*SUP 4: Y132.44 Alternating hourly support/resistance
*COMMENTARY: The sell-off from last week's Y133.49 topside failure resulted in a
break of Y131.74 but follow through was lacking. The rally Wednesday managed a
close above the 21-DMA with gains continuing and focus now having shifted to
Y134.25-59 where 2017 and monthly highs are situated. Layers of support are
building with bears needing a close below Y133.44 to gain breathing room and
below Y132.91 to hint at a deeper sell-off targeting Y131.65.

Friday leaving the pair looking heavy and focus back on Gbp0.8854-88 where the
bull channel base and 21-DMA are situated. Bears now need a close below
Gbp0.8856 to shift focus back to Gbp0.8726-47 where monthly lows, the 55-WMA &
200-DMA are noted. Bulls need a close above Gbp0.8967 to ears bearish pressure
and above Gbp0.9048 to end bearish hopes and shift focus to Gbp0.9107-0.9202.
     AUSSIE TECHS: Focus On $0.7690-0.7733 This Week
*RES 4: $0.7905 - 55-DMA

bears now focus on the $0.7690-0.7733 region where the 200-DMA and Oct lows are
noted. Below the 200-DMA hints at a move initially targeting $0.7513. Layers of
resistance are building and weighing with bulls needing a close above the 55-DMA
to end bearish hopes and shift initial focus back to $0.7986.
     US DOLLAR-INDEX TECHS: 94.476 Resistance Key This Week

*SUP 4: 92.941 - 55-DMA
*COMMENTARY: Bulls take comfort in support emerging on dips back towards the
55-DMA last week and the index popping above last week's high. The 94.127-476
resistance region is key. Bulls need a close above 94.476 to confirm a break of
the 100-DMA (94.127) and to shift immediate focus to 95.167-464. Layers of
support are again building. Bears need a close below 93.517 to ease bullish
pressure and below 92.724 to shift focus lower.
     US 10-YR YIELD TECHS: Focus On 2.402-437
*RES 4: 2.437 - High Mar 23

*SUP 4: 2.278 - Low Oct 16
*COMMENTARY: The 2.278 support confirmed significance with the yield supported
on dips back towards this level retaining bullish control. Focus remains on the
2.402-437 resistance region this week with bulls needing a close above to shift
initial focus to 2.544-558. The 2.332-350 support region is key today with bears
needing a close below to ease bullish pressure and see pressure back on the key
2.278 support below which targets 2.208-245.
NYMEX WTI TECHS: (Z17) Supported Ahead Of 200-DMA 
*RES 4: $53.07 - Bollinger band top

*SUP 4: $50.87 - Low Oct 20
*COMMENTARY: Topside hesitation ahead of the $52.65-53.11 region is less than
ideal for bulls who need a close above to shift focus to $53.73-55.03 where the
bull channel top ($54.84) is located. Bulls take comfort on the bounce from
ahead of the 200-DMA ($50.69). Layers of support remain $48.65-50.87. Bears need
a close below the 200-DMA to gain breathing room and below the 55-DMA ($50.00)
to pressure $48.65-49.44.
SPOT GOLD TECHS: Flirting With 100-DMA
*RES 4: $1298.3 - Alternating hourly support/resistance 
*RES 3: $1297.3 - 55-DMA 
*RES 2: $1291.1 - Hourly resistance Oct 19 
*RES 1: $1285.9 - Hourly resistance Oct 20
*PRICE: $1276.3 @ 0430GMT
*SUP 1: $1275.4 - 100-DMA 
*SUP 2: $1270.7 - Hourly support Oct 6 
*SUP 3: $1266.3 - Hourly resistance Oct 6 now support 
*SUP 4: $1260.6 - Low Oct 6
*COMMENTARY: Pressure on the 100-DMA has so far failed to produce the close
below needed to see bears confirm focus on tests of $1243.4-1260.1 where the
daily bull channel base ($1246.4) and 200-DMA ($1258.3) are noted. Bulls now
look for a close above $1291.1 to ease immediate bearish pressure and above
$1306.0 to pressure $1313.6-1320.0, Daily studies remain well placed for further
losses.
