SHORT-STERLING TECHS: (Z17) Bulls Need Close Above 99.650

*RES 4: 99.690 2017 Highs June 12 & 13

*RES 3: 99.678 Weekly Bollinger band top

*RES 2: 99.650 High June 21

*RES 1: 99.640 Bollinger band top, High Aug 7

*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 99.630

*SUP 1: 99.620 Low Aug 8 & 9

*SUP 2: 99.600 Low Aug 4

*SUP 3: 99.588 55-DMA

*SUP 4: 99.582 21-DMA

*COMMENTARY: Hesitation ahead of 99.650 is less than ideal for bulls who look

for a close above to add support to their case for a test of 99.690 2017 highs.

Initial support is now noted at 99.620 with bears needing a close below to gain

breathing room and below 99.600 to shift focus to key DMAs 99.582-588. The

Bollinger top (99.646) is the key concern for bulls with potential to limit

follow through.
