Technical Analysis BUND TECHS: (U16) Rally Tests Base Of 168.00-168.13 Resistance *RES 4: 168.75 Equality rise target from 166.38 *RES 3: 168.26 1.618 swing of 167.69-166.76 *RES 2: 168.13 Jul 6 high *RES 1: 168.00 Jul 29, Aug 10 highs *PREVIOUS CLOSE: 167.92 *SUP 1: 167.55/60 Hourly support *SUP 2: 167.24 Aug 8 high, now support *SUP 3: 167.07/08 Hourly basing area Aug 8-9 *SUP 4: 166.76 Aug 8 low *COMMENTARY* Eased above 167.69 resistance on Wednesday, culminating in a rally to the base of the next 168.00-168.13 resistance area. Currently pulling back from there but while above 167.55/60 there is still scope to see a further rise aimed at 168.13-168.26 next. Loss of 167.55 will disappoint now, allowing a deeper 167.24-167.07 setback, as recent gains from 166.76 come under correction. A move above 168.26 and have to allow for an eventual 168.75-169.00 rise. EUROSTOXX50 TECHS: 3030.0 Break Still Needed To Continue Recovery *RES 4: 3094.0 Apr 21 high *RES 3: 3089.0 May 31 high *RES 2: 3058.0 Jun 23 high *RES 1: 3030.0 Aug 1 high *PREVIOUS CLOSE: 3016.0 *SUP 1: 2999.0 Aug 8 high, now support *SUP 2: 2976.0 Aug 9 low *SUP 3: 2958.0 Hourly high Aug 5, now support *SUP 4: 2945.0 Aug 4 high, now support *COMMENTARY* The move back above 2960.0 on Monday swung the near term bias back to higher and this has been followed on Tuesday by a further break of the pivotal 3005.0 level. This once again leaves the 3030.0 region, as the next main barrier to surmount, if the recovery is to continue, at this stage. In the meantime, 2999.0-2975.0 acts as support, the latter now key to retaining momentum. Above 3030.0 and 3058.0-3094.0 to act again as resistance. Eurex Futures Market Close , Eurex Exchange.
