DOLLAR-SING TECHS: Above Sgd1.3498 To Ease Bearish Pressure

*RES 3: Sgd1.3540 - 200-WMA
*RES 2: Sgd1.3521 - Bollinger band top
*RES 1: Sgd1.3498 - Alternating daily support/resistance
*PRICE: Sgd1.3440 @ 2300GMT
*SUP 1: Sgd1.3415 - Low Dec 1

*SUP 3: Sgd1.3342 - 2017 Low Sept 8
*SUP 4: Sgd1.3328 - Daily Bear channel base
*COMMENTARY: Hesitation around the 200-WMA saw a sell-off and closes below the
21-DMA (Sgd1.3481) leave the pair looking heavy with immediate bearish focus on
Sgd1.3399-1.3415 and overall focus on Sgd1.3328-42 where 2017 lows and bear
channel base are situated. Bulls need a close above Sgd1.3498 to ease bearish
pressure and above the 100-DMA to end bearish hopes, shifting focus back to
Sgd1.3659-1.3712 where the 200-DMA is noted.
DOLLAR-WON TECHS: Krw1096.2-1101.4 Resistance Region Remains Key

*COMMENTARY: Bulls took comfort in the bounce from last Thursday's lows but the
Krw1096.2-1101.4 resistance region remains key. Bulls need a close above
Krw1096.2 to hint at a shift higher in focus with above Krw1101.4 to initially
target Krw1107.5-1110.5. While Krw1096.2 caps bears remain focused on
Krw1066.6-1075.5 where 2015 & 2017 lows are situated with a close below

*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. Key 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. 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 (Myr3.9269).

*SUP 4: Cnh6.5053 - Low Sept 11
*COMMENTARY: Recent topside failures around the 100-DMA have taken their toll.
With the pair recently looking heavy bears have not been disappointed with a
sell-off that leaves the pair looking heavy. Bears now look for a close below
Cnh6.5568 to initially target Cnh6.5053 with overall focus now on Cnh6.4434.
Bulls now need a close above Cnh6.5926 to ease bearish pressure and shift focus
back to the 100-DMA.

*COMMENTARY: The lack of follow through on pops above the 200-DMA (Php50.516)
remains a concern for bulls who continue to look for a close above the 21-DMA &
200-DMA to ease bearish pressure and confirm focus on Php50.810-51.030 where 100
& 55-DMAs and the Bollinger band top (50.830) are situated. Bears continue to
look for a close below Php50.240 to return pressure to the key Php49.970-50.140

with bulls now needing a close above Thb33.07 to end bearish hopes and shift
focus to Thb33.35-70 where the 200-DMA (Thb33.61) is situated. Daily studies are

bullish confidence with the close above Idr13558 reconfirming focus on
Idr13605-640 where 2017 highs are situated. Layers of support are noted
Idr13534-557. The 55-DMA remains key support with bears still needing a close
below to ease bullish pressure and below Idr13490 to then shift focus back to

*COMMENTARY: An aggressive spike to start the new week lacked follow through
above key DMAs. Bulls now look for a close above the 200-DMA to ease bearish
pressure and above the 55-DMA to shift focus to Inr65.0778-2560 where the LT
falling TL and bear channel top are situated. Bears currently focus on 2017 lows
although the Bollinger base currently limits follow through. A close below
Inr63.9350 is now needed to add weight to the bearish case.
