*RES 2: Sgd1.3168 - Low Jan 19 now resistance

*SUP 4: Sgd1.2955 - Low Nov 27 2014
*COMMENTARY: 2018 and 3+yr lows continued last week although the lack of follow
through is a concern given correcting O/S studies and momentum divergence. Bulls
need a close above Sgd1.3168 to ease bearish pressure and above Sgd1.3223 to
confirm a break of the 21-DMA and shift initial focus to Sgd1.3273-1.3369 where
the 55-DMA is noted. Bears now need a close below Sgd1.3066 to retain initial
focus on Sgd1.2955.
     DOLLAR-WON TECHS: Krw1076.0-1082.8 Resistance Region Key
*RES 4: Krw1096.2 - High Dec 7

*SUP 3: Krw1045.6 - Monthly Low Oct 29 2014
*SUP 4: Krw1031.0 - Low Sept 17 2014
*COMMENTARY: The recovery from recent 2018 lows has resulted in closes above the
bear channel top (Krw1068.7) with the pair pressuring the Bollinger band top
(Krw1066.7). Bulls now look for a close above Krw1076.0 to confirm an easing of
bearish pressure and above Krw1082.8 to shift focus to Krw1096.2-1110.5 where
the 100-DMA (Krw1101.7) is noted. Bears need a close below the 21-DMA to ease
pressure on resistance layers and reconfirm focus on Krw1031.0-1045.6.
     DOLLAR-MYR TECHS: Bulls Need Close Above Myr3.9215

*SUP 3: Myr3.8180 - High July 30 2015 now support 
*SUP 4: Myr3.7795 - Low July 10
*COMMENTARY: Fresh 2018 & 2yr lows lacked follow through which is a concern for
bears given daily studies correcting from O/S. Bulls continue to look for a
close above Myr3.9215 to ease bearish pressure and above Myr3.9689 to confirm a
break of the 21-DMA and hint at a move to Myr4.0450-0626 where the 55-DMA is
noted with above Myr4.0200 to confirm. Bears remain focused on 2016 lows while
Myr3.9215 caps.
     DOLLAR-CNH TECHS: Bulls Need Close Above Cnh6.3591
*RES 4: Cnh6.4140 - Low Nov 25 2015, 2018 Low Jan 15 & 17 
*RES 3: Cnh6.3870 - Low Jan 19 now resistance

*SUP 3: Cnh6.2607 - Low Feb 24 2015
*SUP 4: Cnh6.2293 - High Mar 13 2015 now support
*COMMENTARY: Fresh 2018 & 2+ year lows continue with O/S studies and Bollinger
base key concerns for bears. Bears continue to look for a close below Cnh6.2607
to confirm focus on Cnh6.2130-2293. The Cnh6.3591 resistance remains key with
bulls needing a close above to ease bearish pressure. A close above the 21-DMA
(Cnh6.4217) is needed to hint at a correction back to Cnh6.5017-5449 where the
55-DMA is noted.
     DOLLAR-PHP TECHS: Php51.200 Support Key
*RES 4: Php51.850 - 2017 High Oct 27 
*RES 3: Php51.811 - Weekly Bollinger band top

*SUP 3: Php50.950 - High Jan 26 now support 
*SUP 4: Php50.720 - Low Jan 25
*COMMENTARY: Bullish confidence grew with the gapping move higher Tuesday. O/B
daily studies and the Bollinger band top (Php51.514) remain concerns for bulls.

pressure and below Php50.720 to shift focus back to key DMAs Php50.546-600 where
21, 55 & 200-DMAs are clustered. Bulls currently focus on 2017 highs which
Php51.200 supports.
