DOLLAR-SING TECHS: Bulls Need Close Above Sgd1.3638
*RES 4: Sgd1.3720 - High July 17 
*RES 3: Sgd1.3688 - High Aug 15 
*RES 2: Sgd1.3670 - Bollinger band top

*SUP 4: Sgd1.3536 - 2017 Low July 27
*COMMENTARY: Bears are struggling to gain traction below the 21-DMA (Sgd1.3612)
but remain focused on tests of the Sgd1.3536-49 support region where 2017 lows
are located. Narrowing Bollinger bands are suggestive of a break out. Bulls need
a close above Sgd1.3638 to gain breathing room and above Sgd1.3688 to pressure
the 55-DMA (Sgd1.3712). Bulls now look for a close above the Sgd1.3720 to shift
focus to the bear channel top (Sgd1.3785).

resulting in closes below 21, 55 & 100-DMAs and immediate focus back on the
Krw1123.0 support. Bears need a close below this level to confirm focus on tests
of 2017 lows. Daily studies are well placed for further downside. Bulls now look

reconfirm focus on Krw1144.1-1148.1 where the 200-DMA is noted.
