DOLLAR-SING TECHS: Sgd1.3536-62 Resistance Region Key
*RES 4: Sgd1.3659 - Monthly High Nov 6 
*RES 3: Sgd1.3590 - Bollinger band top 
*RES 2: Sgd1.3562 - 55-DMA 
*RES 1: Sgd1.3536 - 200-WMA
*PRICE: Sgd1.3525 @ 2300GMT
*SUP 1: Sgd1.3498 - Low Dec 11 
*SUP 2: Sgd1.3486 - Hourly support Dec 7 
*SUP 3: Sgd1.3459 - Low Dec 6 
*SUP 4: Sgd1.3448 - Low Dec 5
*COMMENTARY: Correcting O/S daily studies impacted in past weeks with support
emerging on dips a concern for bears. Bulls still need a close above the 200-WMA
to ease bearish pressure and above the 55-DMA now to shift initial focus to
Sgd1.3659. Key support remains at Sgd1.3486 with bears needing a close below to
ease pressure on resistance layers and below Sgd1.3399 to reconfirm focus on
2017 lows.
DOLLAR-WON TECHS: Above Krw1101.4 Initially Pressures Krw1107.5-1110.5
*RES 4: Krw1110.5 - Low Mar 28 now resistance
*RES 3: Krw1107.5 - High Nov 16
*RES 2: Krw1101.4 - High Nov 20
*RES 1: Krw1096.2 - High Dec 7
*PRICE: Krw1092.4 @ 2300GMT
*SUP 1: Krw1088.0 - Low Dec 12
*SUP 2: Krw1080.3 - Low Nov 30
*SUP 3: Krw1075.5 - 2017 Low Nov 29
*SUP 4: Krw1066.6 - 2015 Low Apr 29 2015
*COMMENTARY: The lack of follow through after recent 2017/2+ year lows now sees
the pair flirting with the 21-DMA (Krw1092.3). Bulls still need a close above
Krw1101.4 to confirm a break of the 21-DMA and shift focus to Krw1107.5-1110.5.
Bears now look for a close below Krw1088.0 to gain breathing room and below
Krw1080.3 to retain focus on 2015 lows and then the Krw1045.6 Oct monthly low
from 2014.
DOLLAR-MYR TECHS: Topside Follow Through Lacking
*RES 4: Myr4.1725 - Lows Nov 10 & 15 now resistance 
*RES 3: Myr4.1423 - High Nov 24 
*RES 2: Myr4.1311 - High Nov 28 
*RES 1: Myr4.1014 - High Dec 12
*PRICE: Myr4.0800 @ 2300GMT
*SUP 1: Myr4.0700 - Low Dec 8 
*SUP 2: Myr4.0470 - 2017 Low Dec 5 
*SUP 3: Myr4.0370 - Monthly Low Sept 8 2016 
*SUP 4: Myr4.0135 - Low Aug 26 2016
*COMMENTARY: Follow through was lacking on the recent 2017 lows with correcting
O/S daily studies providing the impetus for a correction. Initial resistance is
noted at Myr4.1014 with bulls needing a close above to ease bearish pressure and
hint at a correction back to Myr4.1311-1423 with the 21-DMA at Myr4.1165. While
Myr4.1014 caps bears remain focused on Myr3.9750-4.0315 where the Aug monthly
low is noted. Overall focus remains on the 200-WMA (Myr3.9230).
DOLLAR-CNH TECHS: 100-DMA Continues To Cap
*RES 4: Cnh6.7154 - Low Aug 1 now resistance 
*RES 3: Cnh6.6904 - High Oct 3 
*RES 2: Cnh6.6651 - High Oct 27 
*RES 1: Cnh6.6276 - 100-DMA
*PRICE: Cnh6.6201 @ 2300GMT
*SUP 1: Cnh6.5926 - Low Dec 1
*SUP 2: Cnh6.5674 - Low Nov 24
*SUP 3: Cnh6.5568 - Low Oct 11
*SUP 4: Cnh6.5409 - Low Sept 18
*COMMENTARY: Hesitation around 21 (Cnh6.6156) & 55 (Cnh6.6233) DMAs continues
and is a concern for bulls with the pair remaining capped around the 100-DMA.
Bulls still need a close above the 100-DMA to add support to the case for a move
back to the 200-DMA (Cnh6.7360) with above Cnh6.6904 needed to confirm. Bears
need a close below Cnh6.5926 to ease pressure on the 100-DMA and reconfirm focus
on Cnh6.5568-5674 with a close below to target Cnh6.5033.
DOLLAR-PHP TECHS: Marginal Close Above 200-DMA
*RES 4: Php51.045 - 55-DMA 
*RES 3: Php50.969 - 100-DMA 
*RES 2: Php50.810 - High Dec 7 
*RES 1: Php50.762 - 21-DMA
*PRICE: Php50.510 @ 2300GMT
*SUP 1: Php50.300 - Low Dec 11 
*SUP 2: Php50.240 - Monthly Low Nov 29 
*SUP 3: Php50.140 - Monthly Low Aug 4 
*SUP 4: Php49.970 - Low June 20
*COMMENTARY: Bulls take comfort in a marginal close above the 200-DMA
(Php50.508) that eases immediate bearish pressure and increases the risk of a
correction back to 21, 55 & 100-DMAs Php50.683-51.045. Bulls now need a close
above the 55-DMA to end bearish hopes and shift focus back to 2017 highs
(Php51.850), Bears now need a close below Php50.240 to return pressure to the
key Php49.970-50.140 support region.
DOLLAR-THB TECHS: Bounces Capped Ahead Of 21-DMA
*RES 4: Thb33.07 - High Nov 15 
*RES 3: Thb32.92 - High Nov 17 
*RES 2: Thb32.77 - High Nov 22 
*RES 1: Thb32.69 - 21-DMA
*PRICE: Thb32.59 @ 2300GMT
*SUP 1: Thb33.48 - 2017 Low Nov 29 
*SUP 2: Thb32.26 - 2015 Lows Feb 26 & Apr 17 & 20 2015 
*SUP 3: Thb32.19 - Monthly Low Oct 21 2014 
*SUP 4: Thb31.94 - Daily Bear channel base
*COMMENTARY: Repeated fresh 2017 lows in past weeks added weight to the bearish
case with overall focus on tests of the bear channel base. O/S daily studies
correcting higher remain key concern for bears. In saying that, bulls need a
close above Thb32.77 to ease immediate bearish pressure and hint at a correction
back to Thb32.92-33.10 where 55 & 100-DMAs and LT bear channel top (Thb32.90)
are located.
DOLLAR-IDR TECHS: Focus Back On 2017 Highs
*RES 4: Idr13825 - High Feb 3 2016 
*RES 3: Idr13698 - Monthly High June 2 2016 
*RES 2: Idr13640 - 2017 High Oct 27 
*RES 1: Idr13605 - High Oct 30
*PRICE: Idr13567 @ 2300GMT
*SUP 1: Idr13557 - High Nov 13 now support 
*SUP 2: Idr13529 - 21-DMA 
*SUP 3: Idr13525 - 55-DMA 
*SUP 4: Idr13490 - Low Nov 7
*COMMENTARY: The bullish close above the 21-DMA (Idr13529) increased bullish
confidence with the close above Idr13558 reconfirming focus on Idr13605-640
where 2017 highs are situated. The 55-DMA remains key support with bears now
needing a close below to ease bullish pressure and below Idr13490 to shift focus
back to Idr13455.
