     EURO-DOLLAR TECHS: Correction Finds Support From Above $1.2323-$1.2320
*RES 4: $1.2571 2% volatility band
*RES 3: $1.2538 Jan 25 high
*RES 2: $1.2490/94 76.4% Fibo of $1.2538-$1.2335, Jan 26 high
*RES 1: $1.2460 61.8% Fibo of $1.2538-$1.2335
*PRICE: $1.2418 @1605GMT 
*SUP 1: $1.2360/65 Hourly support
*SUP 2: $1.2320/23 Equality fall from $1.2494, Jan 17 high
*SUP 3: $1.2307 61.8% Fibo of $1.2165-$1.2538
*SUP 4: $1.2253 76.4% Fibo of $1.2165-$1.2538
*COMMENTARY* Rally reached the upper 2% volatility band last Thursday, before
retreating on the back of some heavily overbought conditions. The lower close
has brought about a potentially bearish 'Doji' candle on the daily chart. While
$1.2494-$1.2538 caps then the immediate risk is still for lower. Has found
support from above $1.2320-23 today, thereby allowing a bounce on the back of
oversold hourly studies. $1.2460 initial resistance, $1.2360-65 now support.
CABLE TECHS: Finds Support Ahead Of Key $1.3957-$1.3943 Region
*RES 4: $1.4287 Jan 26 high
*RES 3: $1.4260 76.4% Fibo of $1.4346-$1.3980
*RES 2: $1.4206/08 61.8% $1.4346-$1.3980, hourly high Jan 26
*RES 1: $1.4163/73 50% Fibo of $1.4346-$1.3980, 1% vol band
*PRICE: $1.4117 @1620GMT
*SUP 1: $1.4075 Hourly support
*SUP 2: $1.4025 Jan 29 low
*SUP 3: $1.3980 Intraday low
*SUP 4: $1.3957 1.618 swing of $1.4083-$1.4287
*COMMENTARY* Found support from $1.3980 earlier today, ahead of the anticipated
slightly stronger $1.3957-$1.3943 area. As a result, some oversold hourly
conditions now being rectified, $1.4163-$1.4173 now the nearest resistance
$1.4206-$1.4208 above. Support rises accordingly, now seeing $1.4075 and $1.4025
as providing protection against a return to the afore mentioned supports. Still
require a move back above $1.4260-$1.4287 to shake off negative daily studies.
DOLLAR-YEN TECHS:  Decent Support Still Seen From Between Y108.27-Y108.22
*RES 4: Y110.19 Jan 17 low, now resistance
*RES 3: Y109.77 Jan 26 high
*RES 2: Y109.42/48 Hourly highs Jan 25-26
*RES 1: Y109.20/25 Hourly resistance
*PRICE: Y108.85 @1624GMT
*SUP 1: Y108.42/50 Intraday low, hourly support
*SUP 2: Y108.22/27 Sep 11, Aug 29 lows
*SUP 3: Y107.72 1.618 swing of Y108.50-Y109.77, 2% vol band
*SUP 4: Y107.32 Sep 8 low
*COMMENTARY* Pushed lower last Friday, breaking below Y108.50 support, a low of
Y108.28 so far, before recovering, aided by some heavily oversold hourly
conditions. Now looking at Y109.20-Y109.25 for initial resistance
Y109.42-Y109.48 higher. There is still decent support from Y108.27-Y108.22 and
this currently protects against a further Y107.72-Y107.32 fall. Probably need a
rally through Y109.77 before any real upside belief will follow..
EURO-YEN TECHS: Finds Intraday Support From The Lower 1% Volatility Band
*RES 4: Y136.29/31 Jan 25, Jan 18 highs
*RES 3: Y135.80 76.4% Fibo of Y136.31-Y134.13
*RES 2: Y135.48/49 61.8% Y136.31-Y134.13, hourly high Jan 26
*RES 1: Y135.22 50% Fibo of Y136.31-Y134.13
*PRICE: Y134.87 @1632GMT
*SUP 1: Y134.40/50 Hourly support
*SUP 2: Y134.13 Intraday low, 1% volatility band
*SUP 3: Y133.82 76.4% Fibo of Y133.05-Y136.31
*SUP 4: Y133.80 6 month rising support line
*COMMENTARY* Has slipped below the recent range base at Y134.92, thereby
allowing some further correction of the most recent Y133.05-Y136.31 rise. In
this respect, a deeper Y134.19-Y133.80 fall cannot be ruled out. Meanwhile, the
move back above Y134.80-Y135.02 has allowed some respite but rallies will likely
require a move back through Y135.49-Y135.80 before overall upside focus is
regained. Meanwhile, interim support comes from Y134.50-Y134.40.
EURO-STERLING TECHS: Correction Continues, Falters Around 61.8% Fibo Level
*RES 4: Stg0.8873 76.4% of Stg0.8930-Stg0.8687
*RES 3: Stg0.8870 1% volatility band
*RES 2: Stg0.8846 Jan 19 high
*RES 1: Stg0.8838 Jan 18 high, 61.8% of Stg0.8930-Stg0.8687
*PRICE: Stg0.8781 @1635GMT
*SUP 1: Stg0.8780 Hourly support
*SUP 2: Stg0.8767 Jan 29 low
*SUP 3: Stg0.8740/45 Congestion area Jan 25-26
*SUP 4: Stg0.8724 Jan 26 low
*COMMENTARY* The Dec 8 low at Stg0.8689 was squeezed last Thursday, a slightly
lower Stg0.8687 seen, before bouncing again. The recovery has gained momentum
this week, the latest rise now challenging towards the Jan 18 high and 61.8%
Fibo retrace level at Stg0.8838. As a consequence, support rises, the
Stg0.8780-Stg0.8767 area now anticipated to remain intact, if further gains back
up the recent range are to be contemplated.
     DOLLAR-CANADA TECHS: Recovery Still Limited To Below $1.2400
*RES 4: $1.2455 Congestion area Jan 22-23
*RES 3: $1.2435 Jan 22 low, now resistance
*RES 2: $1.2400 Jan 18-19 lows, now resistance
*RES 1: $1.2380 Intraday high
*PRICE: $1.2341 @1650GMT
*SUP 1: $1.2282/93 Jan 25, Jan 26 lows
*SUP 2: $1.2264 76.4% Fibo of $1.2061-$1.2921, 1% vol band
*SUP 3: $1.2209 1.618 swing of $1.2355-$1.2591
*SUP 4: $1.2146 2% volatility band
*COMMENTARY* The decline continued last week, leaving the Jan 5 low at $1.2355
behind, a low of $1.2282 so far, as we look to test the resolve of the lower 1%
volatility band, which by time joins the 76.4% Fibo retrace level at $1.2264
today. These offer next protection against a deeper $1.2209 fall. Meanwhile,
have seen a bounce to $ 1.2380 but likely needing to escape $1.2400 before any
correction has room to breathe.
GOLD TECHS: Correcting Lower After Rally Falters Ahead of $1367.3
*RES 4: $1375.4 July 2016 high
*RES 3: $1366.2/67.3 Jan 25, Aug 1 highs 
*RES 2: $1357.3 Jan 26 high
*RES 1: $1352.6 Hourly resistance
*PRICE: $1339.4 @1655GMT
*SUP 1: $1333.2 Jan 18 high, now support
*SUP 2: $1327.9 Jan 10 high, now support
*SUP 3: $1324.3 Jan 18 low
*SUP 4: $1320.1 76.4% Fibo of $1305.9-$1366.2
*COMMENTARY* The move above the 76.4% Fibo retrace level at $1284.5 gave the
upside the impetus it required. This makes the $1357.7-$1236.6 fall seen from
last September look like a three wave correction. The subsequent break through
$1337.1 the next upside boost, as we made our way back through the Sep 4 high at
$1357.7. This sees $1367.3-$1375.4 as next resistance ahead of the 38.2% Fibo at
$1380.3. Support moving lower now, $1333.2-$1320.1 the potential pullback area.
