US 5YR FUTURE TECHS: (U17) 118-100/118-105 Can Provide Intraday Direction

*RES 4: 118-310/320 Apr 17, May 18 highs

*RES 3: 118-247 Jun 14 high

*RES 2: 118-220/227 Aug 11, Aug 18 highs

*RES 1: 118-205 Aug 21 high

*PRICE: 118-140 @0843GMT

*SUP 1: 118-100/105 7 week rising support line, Aug 17 low

*SUP 2: 118-052/057 61.8% of 117-265/118-227, Aug 16 low

*SUP 3: 118-010/012 Aug 1 low, 76.4% Fibo of 117-265/118-227

*SUP 4: 117-265 Jul 25 low

*COMMENTARY* Another attempt to the topside last Friday, pulling up in the midst

of the next 118-220/118-247 resistance area. Still need to sustain a break

through here before the overall bias can switch to higher again and a renewed

challenge to the Apr/May highs at 118-310/118-320. In the meantime, look to

118-105/118-100 for support, loss of the latter would spoil the look of the

recent recovery and put the 118-057/118-052 region back under pressure.

US 10YR FUTURE TECHS: (U17) Pulling Back After 5 Week Channel Top Caps Rise

*RES 4: 127-080 Jun 14 high

*RES 3: 127-055 5 week bull channel top 

*RES 2: 127-015 Aug 18 high

*RES 1: 126-290/297 Aug 21 high, hourly resistance

*PRICE: 126-170 @0851GMT

*SUP 1: 126-165 Hourly support

*SUP 2: 126-110 Aug 17 low

*SUP 3: 126-055 5 week bull channel base

*SUP 4: 125-320 Aug 16 low

*COMMENTARY* The 125-290/125-260 area remained unscathed, as the earlier 125-320

level provided support last week. The subsequent recovery has broken above the

previous 126-280/126-290 highs to reach 127-015. Will have to find the further

strength for a sustained break above here however, before the confidence in the

upside will be restored and the chance of a continued 127-055/127-080 rise.

Support from 126-165/126-110 now protects the 5 week channel base.

US 30YR FUTURE TECHS: (U17)  Eases Back After 156-12 And 1% Vol Band Cap Rise 

*RES 4: 158-18 2% volatility band

*RES 3: 157-27 38.2% Fibo of 177-11/145-26

*RES 2: 157-00/08 1% volatility band, Jun 26 high 

*RES 1: 156-12 Aug 18 high

*PRICE: 155-19 @0900GMT

*SUP 1: 155-06 Aug 16 high, now support

*SUP 2: 154-18 Aug 17 low

*SUP 3: 154-10 Initial rally high Aug 16, now support

*SUP 4: 153-24 Aug 15 low

*COMMENTARY* Found support from above the 153-16/153-17 area last week and the

subsequent recovery has seen a move above the key 155-29 level. That said, the

rally has faltered at 156-12 and above here will face continued resistance from

the upper 1% volatility band at 157-00 and the Jun 26 high at 157-08. A

sustained break here is needed, before the longer term Fibo retrace at 157-27

comes into view. Support 155-06 but 154-18/154-10 of more importance below.

     US EURODOLLAR TECHS: (Z17) 98.580-98.590 Resistance Again The Interest Here

*RES 4: 98.655 May 18 high

*RES 3: 98.630 Jun 14 high

*RES 2: 98.610 Jun 6 high

*RES 1: 98.580/590 Jul 14, Jun 16 highs

*PRICE: 98.565 @0902GMT

*SUP 1: 98.535/545 Hourly support

*SUP 2: 98.515 Initial recovery high Jul 6, now support

*SUP 3: 98.495 Jul 6 low, 50% of 98.335-98.655

*SUP 4: 98.470 Apr 23 low

*COMMENTARY* Finally saw some near term movement with the rally back above

98.560-98.565 resistance earlier in the  month. Now looking to see if this

bounce has the impetus to trouble the next 98.580-98.590 area. Through the

latter needed before we reach more important levels between 98.610-98.630. As a

result, nearest support has risen to 98.535-98.545, with the 98.515 level still

seen as key on the downside.
