*RES 4: Sgd1.3678 - Bollinger band top 

*RES 3: Sgd1.3638 - High Aug 21 

*RES 2: Sgd1.3582 - Low Aug 14 now resistance 

*RES 1: Sgd1.3568 - High Aug 28

*PRICE: Sgd1.3547 @ 2300GMT

*SUP 1: Sgd1.3530 - Alternating hourly support/resistance

*SUP 3: Sgd1.3467 - 200-WMA 

*SUP 4: Sgd1.3430 - Monthly Low Sept 7 2016

*COMMENTARY: Hesitation ahead of the Sgd1.3638 resistance took its toll with

fresh 2017 lows and bears now focused on Sgd1.3430-67 where the 200-WMA and

monthly lows are located. The Bollinger base is the key concern for bears and

limits follow through. Layers of resistance are weighing with bulls now needing

a close above Sgd1.3582 to ease immediate bearish pressure and above Sgd1.3638

to shift focus to Sgd1.3688-1.3720.

DOLLAR-WON TECHS: Bears Dominate While 55-DMA Caps

*COMMENTARY: Failure to trouble the 200-DMA left the pair looking heavy

resulting in closes below 21, 55 & 100-DMAs last week. Bears have so far failed

to capitalise on the gapping move lower with the bounce Tuesday providing

breathing room. Bulls continue to look for a close above the 55-DMA to shift

focus to Krw1140.1-1148.1 where the 200-DMA (Krw1146.4) is located. Bears now

need a close below Krw1119.0 to confirm focus on 2017 lows.

*COMMENTARY: Broad sideways trading Myr4.2465-3270 continues with focus having

returned to the Myr4.2440-65 region where 2017 lows are located following the

most recent topside failure and close below the 55-DMA. Initial resistance is

noted at Myr4.2760 but bulls look for a close above the 55-DMA to ease bearish

pressure and shift focus back to Myr4.3068-3112 where the 100-DMA is situated.

*SUP 3: Cnh6.5389 - Monthly Low June 3 2016 

*SUP 4: Cnh6.5246 - Low May 12 2016

to result in fresh 2017 & 14mth lows that see bearish focus now on layers of

support Cnh6.5246-5783. O/S daily studies and the Bollinger base (Cnh6.6032)

remain key concerns for bears. In saying that, bulls now need a close above

Cnh6.6276 to gain breathing room and above Cnh6.6413 to shift initial focus to

Cnh6.6748-6886.

on the 21-DMA with a close below needed to shift focus to Php50.467-550 where

the 55-DMA and bull channel base are located. Daily studies have corrected back

to more neutral levels. Bulls now need a close above Php51.390 to reconfirm

focus on tests of Php51.630-700 where 2017 highs are located.

DOLLAR-THB TECHS: Immediate Focus On Thb32.98

*SUP 3: Thb32.69 - Daily Bear channel base 

*SUP 4: Thb32.52 - Low Apr 27 2015

*COMMENTARY: Consolidation above the 21-DMA came to an end following the

inability of bulls to take out Thb33.41. The sell-off has resulted in fresh 2017

and 27mth lows as bears focus on the Thb32.98 May 2015 monthly low. Bulls now

need a close above the 21-DMA to gain breathing room and above Thb33.41 to shift

immediate focus to Thb33.53-58 where the 55-DMA is situated. The Bollinger base

(Thb33.16) is the key concern for bears.

Idr13270-13380 on the narrow. Bulls continue to look for a close above Idr13380

to pressure Idr13415 and above this level to target Idr13485 2017 highs. Bears

still need a close below the 100-DMA to return focus to the lower end of the

dominant range. Bears look for a close below Idr13245 to initially target

Idr13175.
