EURO-DOLLAR TECHS: Pressure Returns To 2018 Low
*RES 4: $1.1705 Daily Bear Channel top off Apr 19 high
*RES 3: $1.1671 21-DMA
*RES 2: $1.1644 Hourly resistance June 27
*RES 1: $1.1598 Low June 22 now resistance
*PRICE: $1.1565 @ 0430GMT
*SUP 1: $1.1510 Bollinger band base 
*SUP 2: $1.1506 2018 Low May 29 
*SUP 3: $1.1470 Low July 18 2017 
*SUP 4: $1.1434 100-WMA
*COMMENTARY: The failure around the 21-DMA and bear channel top has seen
pressure return to the 2018 low ($1.1506). Bears look for a close below $1.1506
to shift immediate focus to $1.1311 although 100 ($1.1434) & 200 ($1.1399) WMAs
may support along the way. Layers of resistance are accumulating and weighing.
Bulls now need a close above $1.1598 to gain breathing room and above $1.1723 to
target $1.1854-1.1901.
     CABLE TECHS: Above $1.3190 To Gain Breathing Room
*RES 4: $1.3290 21-DMA 
*RES 3: $1.3190 Low June 26 now resistance 
*RES 2: $1.3166 Hourly support June 27a now resistance 
*RES 1: $1.3124 Hourly support June 27 now resistance
*PRICE: $1.3113 @ 0430GMT
*SUP 1: $1.3099 2018 Low June 21 
*SUP 2: $1.3071 100-WMA 
*SUP 3: $1.2995 High Sept 1 now support 
*SUP 4: $1.2849 Low Aug 31
*COMMENTARY: The recovery from 2018 lows has stalled at the 21-DMA with the
resulting sell-off seeing pressure back on 2018 lows. Overall focus remains on
the $1.2995-1.3072 with bears needing a close below $1.2995 to initially target
$1.2770 Aug lows. The Bollinger base ($1.3104) remains the key concern for
bears. Bulls now need a close above $1.3190 to gain breathing room and above
$1.3314 to shift initial focus back to $1.3446-1.3528.
     DOLLAR-YEN TECHS: Y109.01 Support Remains Key
*RES 4: Y111.39 High May 21 
*RES 3: Y111.18 High May 22 
*RES 2: Y110.90 High June 15 
*RES 1: Y110.48 High June 27
*PRICE: Y110.21 @ 0430GMT
*SUP 1: Y109.50 55-DMA 
*SUP 2: Y109.01 Hourly support June 1 
*SUP 3: Y108.70 Low June 1 
*SUP 4: Y108.19 100-DMA
*COMMENTARY: The pair remains capped ahead of Y110.90 following the bounces from
around the 55-DMA this week. Bulls need a close above Y110.90 to confirm
traction above the 200-DMA (Y110.19) and shift initial focus to Y111.39-98.
Bears still need a close below Y109.01 to confirm a break of the 55-DMA
(Y109.50) and Bull channel base, initially pressuring Y107.85-108.19 where the
100-DMA is found with below Y107.85 to shift focus back to 2018 lows.
     EURO-YEN TECHS: Focus On Y126.22-98 Today
*RES 4: Y129.26 Alternating hourly support/resistance
*RES 3: Y128.81 High June 25
*RES 2: Y128.54 Hourly resistance June 25
*RES 1: Y127.56 Hourly support June 26 now resistance
*PRICE: Y127.47 @ 0430GMT
*SUP 1: Y126.98 Low June 21 
*SUP 2: Y126.63 Low June 19 
*SUP 3: Y126.22 Hourly support May 30 
*SUP 4: Y124.61 2018 Low May 29
*COMMENTARY: Hesitation at Y128.81 sees the pair trading below the bull channel
base (Y127.78) off 2018 lows with immediate focus on Y126.22-98 today. Bears
need a close below Y126.22 to confirm immediate focus on tests of 2018 lows. O/S
daily studies and the Bollinger base (Y126.71) are concerns for bears. The
Y128.81 resistance remains key with bulls needing a close above to ease bearish
pressure and above Y129.65 to pressure layers of resistance Y129.82-131.37.
     EURO-STERLING TECHS: Above 55-WMA To End Bearish Hopes 
*RES 4: Gbp0.8967 2018 High Mar 7

*SUP 3: Gbp0.8748 Low June 22 
*SUP 4: Gbp0.8715 Low June 15
*COMMENTARY: Pressure has returned to the Gbp0.8819 -59 resistance region where
the 200-DMA and 55-WMA are located. Bulls look for a close above the 55-WMA to
end bearish hopes and shift initial focus back to Gbp0.8967-0.9107. Bears now
need a close below Gbp0.8779 to gain breathing room and below Gbp0.8694 to
confirm focus on tests of 2018 lows and then Gbp0.8531 on a break lower.
     AUSSIE TECHS: Focus Shifts To Dec 2016 Low

*SUP 3: $0.7246 - High Dec 30 2016 now support 
*SUP 4: $0.7152 - Monthly Low Dec 26 2016
*COMMENTARY: Fresh 2018 & 18mth lows see bears shift focus to the $0.7152 Dec
2016 monthly low although the weekly bear channel base ($0.7234) may slow the
move. O/S daily studies and the Bollinger base ($0.7281) are key concerns for
bears. Bulls now need a close above $0.7443 to gain breathing room and above
$0.7481 to shift initial focus back to $0.7544-0.7627 where the 55 ($0.7544) DMA
is located. Above the 55-DMA then initially targets $0.7627-0.7735.
     US DOLLAR-INDEX TECHS: Bulls Need Close Above 100-WMA

index bounce back towards 2018 highs. Bulls continue to look for a close above
the 100-WMA (95.567) to target 96.617. Layers of support building add to bullish
confidence. Bears now need a close below 94.951 to gain breathing room and below
94.028 to confirm a break of the 21-DMA (94.282) and shift initial focus to
93.193.

*COMMENTARY: Topside failures around 2.950 saw pressure return to the 2.853
support resulting in a close below Wednesday that now sees focus back on

concern for bears and currently supports. Bulls now need a close above 2.873 to
gain breathing room and above 2.950 to pressure the key 3.014-050 region.

Wednesday. Bulls need a close above $73.25 to shift focus to $77.83-79.85 levels
last seen in Nov 2014. Initial support is noted at $71.40 with bears needing a
