1529 [Dow Jones] TECHNICAL ANALYSIS: Smorgon Steel (SSX.AU) down 18.2% at 6-month low of A$1.28 on disappointing 2H outlook. Looks headed for A$1.20 after breaking major support levels at A$1.40 and A$1.30 says Dow Jones technical analyst Dave Rogers. Last September's failure near the Feb 2002 peak at A$1.72 was a bearish sign. Stock could stay weak for the next 12 months before finding support from the tentative monthly uptrend line, now at A$1.13. Strong resistance now likely at A$1.40, with A$1.30 also likely to turn into resistance soon. (DWR)
