*SUP 3: $1.1829 100-DMA 
*SUP 4: $1.1806 55-DMA
*COMMENTARY: Continued hesitation ahead of 2017 highs has taken its toll with
the sell-off Monday leaving the pair looking heavy and seeing focus on support
layers $1.1808-1.1911 where key DMAs and the bull channel base are situated.
Layers of resistance accumulating and daily studies correcting from O/B adds
weight to the bearish case. Bulls now need a close above $1.2009 to return focus
to 2017 highs.
     CABLE TECHS: Bears Need Close Below 21-DMA
*RES 4: $1.3656 2017 High Sept 20 
*RES 3: $1.3612 2018 High Jan 3

*SUP 2: $1.3491 Low Jan 1 
*SUP 3: $1.3456 High Dec 28 now support 
*SUP 4: $1.3452 21-DMA
*COMMENTARY: Failure to trouble $1.3612 so far this week has left the pair
looking a little heavy and focus back on layers of support $1.3452-91 where the
21-DMA is noted. Bears now look for a close below the 21-DMA to shift focus to
$1.3282-1.3338 where 55 & 100-DMAs and the bull channel base are situated.
Correcting O/B studies adds weight to the bearish case. Bulls now need a close
above $1.3585 to gain breathing room and above 2017 highs to target $1.3828.
     DOLLAR-YEN TECHS: Focus Returns To Y110.83-111.98
*RES 4: Y113.44 High Dec 22 
*RES 3: Y113.17 Daily Bear channel top 
*RES 2: Y112.88 55-DMA 
*RES 1: Y112.42 Hourly resistance Jan 10
*PRICE: Y112.32 @ 0530GMT
*SUP 1: Y111.98 Low Dec 6 
*SUP 2: Y111.70 200-DMA 
*SUP 3: Y111.35 Low Nov 29 
*SUP 4: Y110.83 Monthly Low Nov 27
*COMMENTARY: Time spent above the 55-DMA has been brief with the break below
Y112.86 leaving the pair looking heavy and reconfirming focus on the
Y110.83-111.98 support region where 100 & 200-DMAs are noted. Bears continue to
look for a close below Y110.83 to target 2017 lows. Bulls continue to look for a
close above Y113.44 to confirm a break of the channel top and shift overall
focus back to Y114.72.
     EURO-YEN TECHS: Pressuring Key Support Region
*RES 4: Y135.99 Low Jan 5 now resistance
*RES 3: Y135.48 Hourly resistance Jan 8

*SUP 2: Y133.60 Hourly support Dec 19 
*SUP 3: Y133.31 55-DMA 
*SUP 4: Y133.15 Daily Bull channel base
*COMMENTARY: The lack of topside follow through took its toll with a sell-off
that leaves the pair looking a little heavy. Daily studies correcting from O/B
add weight to the case for a deeper correction. Bears now need a close below the
100-DMA (Y132.77) to add weight to the case for a move targeting Y130.59-132.03.
Bulls now need a close above Y135.11 to ease bearish pressure and above Y135.99
to retain focus on Y139.02-141.05.
     EURO-STERLING TECHS: 55 & 100-DMAs Key Resistance

*RES 3: Gbp0.8887 Hourly resistance Jan 5 
*RES 2: Gbp0.8851 55-DMA

*SUP 3: Gbp0.8759 Lows Dec 14 & 15 
*SUP 4: Gbp0.8690 Monthly Low Dec 8
*COMMENTARY: Having looked heavy Monday bears were not disappointed with closes
below key supports that sees focus back on the Gbp0.8690-0.8790 support region.
Overall bears need a close below Gbp0.8690 to confirm a bearish bias and
initially target the 100-WMA (Gbp0.8547). Bulls still need a close above the
55-DMA to ease bearish pressure and above the 100-DMA to shift focus higher.

*SUP 4: $0.7703 - 200-DMA
*COMMENTARY: O/B daily studies looking to correct remain a key concern for bulls
who are initially focused on $0.7906 with overall focus on 2017 highs. Topside
hesitation to start the new week was less than ideal but bears continue to look
for a close below $0.7802 to gain breathing room. Bears still need a close below
the 200-DMA to shift initial focus to $0.7623 and hint at a move back to
$0.7499-00 with below $0.7580 to confirm.
     US DOLLAR-INDEX TECHS: O/S Studies Correcting

*SUP 3: 91.751 - Low Jan 2
*SUP 4: 91.526 - Low Oct 19
*COMMENTARY: Correcting O/S daily studies appear to be impacting with the index
bouncing from ahead of last week's lows and bullish closes that sees pressure
back on 92.930-93.558 where key DMAs and the bear channel top are situated.
Bulls need a close above the 55-DMA to shift initial focus to 94.219 and overall
focus to 95.167-464. Bears now need a close below 92.396 to gain breathing room
and below 92.100 to return pressure to 2018 lows.
     US 10-YR YIELD TECHS: Bulls Focused On 2.629-692

*PRICE: 2.551 @ 0530GMT

*SUP 2: 2.504 - High Dec 21 now support 
*SUP 3: 2.462 - Low Jan 8 
*SUP 4: 2.443 - 21-DMA
*COMMENTARY: Bulls take comfort in support ahead of the 21-DMA providing a
bounce to start the new year with the close above the weekly bear channel top
(2.529) adding support to the case for a move now initially targeting 2.629-692
where yearly and monthly highs are situated. Daily studies have room to move
before O/B becomes an issue. Bears now look for a close below 2.504 to gain
breathing room and hint at a correction back to the 21-DMA.

*SUP 4: $1289.2 - 100-DMA

studies looking to correct from O/B. Bears continue to look for a close below
$1302.5 to shift focus back to $1272.8-1289.2 where key DMAs are noted. While
$1302.5 supports bulls maintain focus on tests of $1357.5-1374.9 where 2016 &
2017 highs are situated but need a close above $1325.9 to add support to their
case.

fresh 3+yr highs with bulls focused on $64.11-65.17. O/B studies looking to
correct remain the key concern for bulls. Bears now need a close below $62.56 to
ease bullish pressure and below $61.09 to shift focus back to $58.60-59.93 where
the bull channel base and 21-DMA are situated.
