  • RES 3: 114-00   Round number resistance
  • RES 2: 113-12/29 High Sep 18 / High Sep 11 and the bull trigger 
  • RES 1: 112-31/113-00 High Oct 01 / High Sep 24 
  • PRICE:‌‌ 112-22+ @ 16:41 BST Oct 1
  • SUP 1: 112-01   50.0% retracement of the Jul 15 - Sep 11 bull phase   
  • SUP 2: 111-26   Low Aug 26
  • SUP 3: 111-13+ Low Aug 18 and a key support  
  • SUP 4: 111-01+ 76.4% retracement of the Jul 15 - Sep 11 bull phase  

Prices bounced Wednesday, despite the short-term bear cycle. Recent weakness has resulted in a print below the 50-day EMA, currently at 112-10+. A clear break of this average would undermine a bull theme and signal scope for a deeper retracement. This would open 111-13+, the Aug 18 low and the next key support. On the upside, initial firm resistance to watch is unchanged, at 113-00, the Sep 24 high.
