DOLLAR-SING TECHS: Bollinger Top Capping, 21-DMA Supporting

*RES 4: Sgd1.3727 - 55-DMA 

*RES 3: Sgd1.3720 - High July 17 

*RES 2: Sgd1.3688 - High Aug 15 

*RES 1: Sgd1.3673 - Bollinger band top

*PRICE: Sgd1.3635 @ 2300GMT

*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 (Sgd1.3462). While the 21-DMA supports bulls remain focused

on Sgd1.3720-27 where the 55-DMA is situated. The Bollinger top remains a

concern and limits follow through.

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 (Krw1147.1) remain key concerns for bulls.

confirm a break of the 100-DMA and focus shift to Myr4.3520-3850 where the

200-DMA (Myr4.3740) 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: Cnh6.7154 - Low Aug 1 now resistance 

*RES 2: Cnh6.7124 - 21-DMA 

*RES 1: Cnh6.6943 - Daily Bear channel top

*PRICE: Cnh6.6800 @ 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 2017 lows has stalled around the bear channel top

with the close below Cnh6.6831 leaving the pair looking a little heavy.

Cnh6.7154 is now key resistance with bulls needing a close above to confirm an

easing of bearish pressure and above Cnh6.7483 to target the 55-DMA (Cnh6.7628).

While Cnh6.7154 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 3: Php52.085 - Monthly Low July 10 2006 now resistance 

*RES 2: Php51.700 - High Aug 3 2006 

*RES 1: Php51.630 - 2017 High Aug 18

*PRICE: Php51.490 @ 2300GMT

*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 Friday's 2017 and 11year highs is

less than ideal for bulls given the move looking a little overbought and the

Bollinger top (Php51.492) limiting follow through. 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 still 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 Thb33.67-88 where the 55-DMA (Thb33.67) 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.
