*RES 4: Sgd1.3688 - Monthly High Aug 15 

*RES 3: Sgd1.3686 - 100-DMA

*COMMENTARY: The 55-DMA has supported to start the new week with the bounce

seeing pressure back on key resistance layers Sgd1.3646-1.3720. Bulls continue

to look for a close above Sgd1.3720 to confirm a break of the 100-DMA and bear

channel top with immediate focus shifting to Sgd1.3787. Bears still need a close

below Sgd1.3538 to confirm a false break of the 55-DMA (Sgd1.3566) and below the

21-DMA to return focus to tests of 2017 lows.

DOLLAR-WON TECHS: Bears Need Close Below 200-DMA

*RES 4: Krw1157.9 - Monthly High July 6

*COMMENTARY: A gapping move higher and bullish close Thursday saw bullish

confidence boosted and bulls now focused on tests of July highs. Daily studies

have a little room to move but the Bollinger top (Krw1145.0) remains the key

concern with potential to limit follow through. Bears still need a close below

the 200-DMA to ease bullish pressure and below Krw1137.5 to shift focus lower.

Bulls look for a close above the 100-WMA to add support to their case.

with the pair bouncing aggressively from a dip back to this region Thursday. The

pair remained capped ahead of the Myr4.2577-2722 resistance region with bulls

needing a close above the 100-DMA to end bearish hopes and shift focus to

Myr4.3112. Bears need a close below the 21-DMA to return pressure on

Myr4.1800-70.

DOLLAR-CNH TECHS: Cnh6.6053-6346 Support Key

*RES 4: Cnh6.7154 - Low Aug 1 now resistance

*COMMENTARY: The recovery from 2017 lows resulted in spikes above the 55-DMA

(Cnh6.6476) with the pair gaining traction above Monday. Daily studies looking

to correct from O/B and the Bollinger top limiting follow through increase the

risk of a correction lower. Bears now need a close below Cnh6.6346 to confirm a

break of the 55-DMA and below Cnh6.6053 to shift focus back to Cnh6.5573-5860

where the 21-DMA is located.

immediate focus shifting to Php50.110-250 where the 200-DMA (Php50.209) is

located. Bulls continue to look for a close above Php51.295 to reconfirm the

concern for bears with potential to limit follow through.
