daily TL, 55 & 100_DMAs with immediate focus on Krw1125.1. Bears continue to

look for a close below this level to shift overall focus back to 2017 lows.

Layers of resistance are accumulating and weighing. Bulls need a close above the

bears and sees pressure back on Myr4.2242. Bulls need a close above this level

to shift focus to Myr4.2442-2680 where the bear channel top, 55 & 100-DMAs are

situated. Overall above Myr4.2680 is needed to end bearish hopes and target

Myr4.3112. Bears remain focused on 2017 lows while Myr4.2242 caps with overall

focus on the bear channel base (Myr4.1111).

Cnh6.5053 and overall focus on 2017 lows. Bulls now need a close above the

21-DMA to ease immediate bearish pressure and above Cnh6.6346 to shift focus

to limit follow through. Bears continue to look for a close below Php51.295 to

for further losses. Bulls need a close above Thb33.25 to ease immediate bearish

pressure and above Thb33.54 to confirm a break of the 100-DMA and to target

Thb33.70-88.
