*RES 3: Sgd1.3523 - Bollinger band top 
*RES 2: Sgd1.3498 - Alternating daily support/resistance 
*RES 1: Sgd1.3474 - 21-DMA
*PRICE: Sgd1.3432 @ 2300GMT

*SUP 4: Sgd1.3323 - Daily Bear channel base
*COMMENTARY: Hesitation around the 200-WMA saw a sell-off and closes below the
21-DMA leave the pair looking heavy with immediate bearish focus on
Sgd1.3399-1.3415 and overall focus on Sgd1.3323-42 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
Sgd1.3659-1.3710 where the 200-DMA is noted.
DOLLAR-WON TECHS: Bulls Need Close Above Bear Channel Top
*RES 4: Krw1101.4 - High Nov 20
*RES 3: Krw1096.2 - High Dec 7

*COMMENTARY: Lower daily lows and highs ensure bearish focus remains on the
Krw1062.0-1075.5 support region where 2015 & 2017 lows are situated. The 21-DMA
is initial resistance but bulls need a close above the bear channel top to ease
bearish pressure. A close above Krw1101.4 is needed to shift immediate focus to
Krw1107.5-1110.5 where the 55-DMA (Krw1108.4) is located. The Bollinger base
(Krw1079.1) is the key concern forbears and limits follow through.

*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).

Cnh6.4434-4835 where 2017 lows and the 200-WMA are situated. The Cnh6.5926 level
remains initial resistance with bulls needing a close above to ease bearish
pressure and shift initial focus back to the 100-DMA. Daily studies approaching
O/S is less than ideal for bears.

of follow through was less than ideal. Bears now focus on the Php49.970 support
with a close below to add weight to the case for a test of the bear channel
base. Layers of resistance are accumulating with bulls now needing a close above
Php50.340 to ease bearish pressure and above the 200-DMA to shift initial focus

with bulls currently needing a close above Thb33.07 to end bearish hopes and
shift focus to Thb33.35-70 where the 200-DMA (Thb33.60) is situated. Daily

*RES 4: Idr13698 - Monthly High June 2 2016

*SUP 3: Idr13455 - Low Oct 5 
*SUP 4: Idr13448 - 100-DMA
*COMMENTARY: Topside hesitation ahead of Idr13605 has taken its toll with a
sell-off that sees pressure back on the 55-DMA. Bears need a close below the
55-DMA to confirm an easing of bullish pressure and below Idr13490 to shift
initial focus to Idr13448-455 where the 100-DMA is situated. Bulls now need a
close above Idr13565 to gain breathing room and above Idr13605 to reconfirm
initial focus on 2017 highs.

*RES 4: Inr65.0633 - LT Falling TL off Nov 2016 High

*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 Inr65.0633-2560 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.
