DOLLAR-SING TECHS: 21-DMA Continues To Support
*RES 4: Sgd1.3730 - 55-DMA 
*RES 3: Sgd1.3720 - High July 17 
*RES 2: Sgd1.3688 - High Aug 15 
*RES 1: Sgd1.3676 - Bollinger band top
*PRICE: Sgd1.3658 @ 2300GMT
*SUP 1: Sgd1.3612 - 21-DMA

*SUP 3: Sgd1.3549 - Low Aug 4 
*SUP 4: Sgd1.3536 - 2017 Low July 27
*COMMENTARY: Despite topside hesitation ahead of the 55-DMA, bulls take comfort
from support around the 21-DMA. Bears look for a close below the 21-DMA to hint
at a move back to 2017 lows with below Sgd1.3582 confirming. Fresh 2017 lows
target the 200-WMA (Sgd1.3456). While the 21-DMA supports bulls remain focused
on Sgd1.3720-30 where the 55-DMA is situated. The Bollinger top remains a
concern and limits follow through.
DOLLAR-WON TECHS: Bears Need Close Below 100-DMA
*RES 4: Krw1154.3 - Low July 7 now resistance
*RES 3: Krw1148.1 - High Aug 11
*RES 2: Krw1146.9 - 200-DMA
*RES 1: Krw1143.3 - Low Aug 11 now resistance

*SUP 2: Krw1132.2 - 55-DMA
*SUP 3: Krw1130.1 - 100-DMA
*SUP 4: Krw1126.7 - 21-DMA
*COMMENTARY: Support emerging ahead of key DMAs saw the pair bounce back towards
Krw1148.1. Bulls need a close above this level to confirm a break of the 200-DMA
and a shift in focus to Krw1157.8-1161.0 where monthly highs are situated. Bears
now look for a close below the 100-DMA to hint at a move back to 2017 lows with
a close below Krw1123.0 needed to confirm. Daily studies at O/B levels and the
Bollinger top (Krw1145.3) remain key concerns for bulls.
DOLLAR-MYR TECHS: Myr4.3112-3270 Resistance Region Key
*RES 4: Myr4.3270 - High June 28 
*RES 3: Myr4.3187 - 100-DMA 
*RES 2: Myr4.3112 - High Aug 16

*SUP 3: Myr4.2664 - Low July 19 
*SUP 4: Myr4.2465 - 2017 Low June 20
*COMMENTARY: Broad sideways trading Myr4.2465-3270 continues with bulls
currently focused on Myr4.3112-3270. Bulls need a close above this region to
confirm a break of the 100-DMA and focus shift to Myr4.3520-3850 where the
200-DMA (Myr4.3735) is located. Bears now look for a close below the 55-DMA to
see immediate pressure return to Myr4.2664-00. The Bollinger top remains the key
concern for bulls.
DOLLAR-CNH TECHS: Looking Heavy Again
*RES 4: Cnh6.7377 - High July 31 
*RES 3: Cnh6.7161 - 21-DMA 
*RES 2: Cnh6.7154 - Low Aug 1 now resistance 
*RES 1: Cnh6.6985 - Daily Bear channel top
*PRICE: Cnh6.6814 @ 2300GMT
*SUP 1: Cnh6.6748 - Low Aug 17 
*SUP 2: Cnh6.6685 - Low Aug 14 
*SUP 3: Cnh6.6567 - 2017 Low Aug 11 
*SUP 4: Cnh6.6413 - Monthly Low Sept 16
*COMMENTARY: The recovery from last week's 2017 lows has stalled around the bear
channel top with the close below Cnh6.6831 leaving the pair looking a little
heavy. The 21-DMA is key resistance today with bulls needing a close above to
confirm an easing of bearish pressure and above Cnh6.7483 to target the 55-DMA
(Cnh6.7647). While the 21-DMA caps bears retain the advantage and target
Cnh6.6413.
DOLLAR-PHP TECHS: Bears Need Close Below Php51.090
*RES 4: Php52.560 - Low July 18 2006 now resistance

*RES 1: Php51.600 - High Aug 24 2006, 2017 High Aug 16

*SUP 2: Php50.900 - Lows Aug 11 & 14 
*SUP 3: Php50.840 - High July 25 now support 
*SUP 4: Php50.680 - High Aug 9 now support
*COMMENTARY: The lack of follow through on Wednesdays 2017 and 11year highs is
less than ideal for bulls given the move looking a little overbought and daily
studies approaching O/B levels. The Php51.090 support remains key with bears
looking for a close below to ease bullish pressure and shift focus back to
Php50.680. Bulls now need a close above Php51.700 to confirm focus on
Php52.085-560 last seen in July 2006.

close above Thb33.41 to gain breathing room and above Thb33.53 to target a
correction back to Thb33.69-88 where the 55-DMA (Thb33.69) is located. Bears
continue to look for a close below Thb33.13 to reconfirm the bearish bias and
initially target May 2015 monthly lows and then Thb32.74. The Bollinger base
(Thb33.15) remains the key concern for bears.
