*RES 2: 118-010 Sep 19 high

*SUP 4: 116-265 1% volatility band

*COMMENTARY* The fall continued this week, moving below the key 117-280/117-272

area on Wednesday. The decline has now extended towards the next region of

importance from between 117-180/117-170. Has become oversold in the near term

but resistance now from that 117-280 level and then Wednesday's 118-010 high,

now become the stumbling block to any successful recovery attempts. Lose 117-170

and look to 117-147/117-132 next.

US 10YR FUTURE TECHS: (Z17) 125-175/125-155 Remains Next Support Area

*RES 4: 126-250 Sep 13 high

*RES 3: 126-180 Sep 14-15 highs

*RES 2: 126-055/060 Sep 20 high, broken support line

*RES 1: 125-300 Sep 19 low, now resistance

*SUP 1: 125-170/175 Sep 20, Aug 8 lows

*SUP 2: 125-155 Jul 25, Jul 26 lows

*SUP 3: 125-055 50% Fibo of 122-145/127-285

*SUP 4: 124-290 1% volatility band

*COMMENTARY* Broke below the base of the 9 week bull channel last week, and now

clearly below the 6 month rising support line, still at 126-060 by time today.

Lost further support from 125-240/125-215 on Wednesday, now leaving the

125-175/125-155 region to deal with immediate pressure. In the meantime, look to

125-300 and then that broken support line at 126-060/126-180 for resistance.

Back above the latter now needed for any successful recovery hopes.

US 30YR FUTURE TECHS: (Z17) 153-16/153-05 Continues As Next Area Of Support 

*RES 4: 156-02 Sep 12 high

*RES 3: 155-15 Sep 15 high

*RES 2: 155-00 Sep 18 high

*RES 1: 154-17/23 Hourly resistance

*PRICE: 154-14 @1017GMT

*SUP 1: 153-16 Sep 20 low

*SUP 2: 153-05 76.4% Fibo of 151-18/158-09, 1% vol band

*SUP 3: 152-03 Jul 27, Jul 28 lows

*SUP 4: 151-19 2% volatility band

*COMMENTARY* Last week saw the the loss of both 156-07 support and the rising

support line from the late July lows. This followed by the key 154-30 level last

Thursday. Wednesday we lost the next important level from 154-04, the 61.8% Fibo

retrace level. This now leaves 153-16 as the near term protection against a

further 153-05 fall. In the meantime, resistance moves to 154-17/154-23,

presently require a move back above 155-00 however, to ease pressure.

     US EURODOLLAR TECHS: (Z17) Key 98.495 Support Comes Under Pressure

*RES 4: 98.635 Sep 8 high

*RES 3: 98.600/610 Aug 29 high, Sep 8 low

*RES 2: 98.580 Broken 6 month support line

*RES 1: 98.540/545 Sep 14 low, Sep 20 high

*PRICE: 98.505 @1019GMT

*SUP 1: 98.495 Jul 6 low, 50% Fibo of 98.335-98.655

*SUP 2: 98.470 Apr 24 low

*SUP 3: 98.455 61.8% Fibo of 98.335-98.655

*SUP 4: 98.410 76.4% Fibo of 98.335-98.655

*COMMENTARY* Failed to take advantage of the break above 98.590/98.600 earlier

in the month, a high of 98.635 before giving up ground again. This culminated in

a drop below the 6 month rising support line last week. This suggests that there

is initially scope for a return towards the Jul 6 low at 98.495. In the interim,

nearest resistance comes from 98.540-98.545 and then the broken support line at

98.580. Below 98.495 and 98.455 is next attraction.
