*COMMENTARY: Failure to trouble $1.6228 resulted in a sell-off and close below
the 200-DMA that sees bearish focus shift to $1.5367-1.5453 where the 100-DMA is
located. Overall bears need a close below $1.4910 to shift focus back to $1.3703
June lows. Initial resistance is noted at $1.5829 but bulls look for a close
above $1.5904 to gain breathing room and above $1.6228 to return focus to
$1.6512-1.6803. A close above $1.6803 is needed to reconfirm the bullish bias.
