DOLLAR-SING TECHS: Bulls Need Close Above 55-DMA
*RES 4: Sgd1.3443 - 100-DMA 
*RES 3: Sgd1.3415 - Low Dec 1 now resistance 
*RES 2: Sgd1.3369 - High Jan 10 
*RES 1: Sgd1.3331 - 55-DMA
*PRICE: Sgd1.3304 @ 2300GMT

*SUP 3: Sgd1.3180 - 21-DMA 
*SUP 4: Sgd1.3149 - High Jan 30 now support
*COMMENTARY: Bounces from Sgd1.3149 resulted in immediate focus shifting to the
55-DMA. Bulls look for a close above to add support to the case for a move
targeting Sgd1.3538-82 where the 200-DMA is located. Daily studies approaching
O/B are a key concern for bulls. In saying that, bears now need a close below
Sgd1.3227 to ease bullish pressure and below Sgd1.3149 to confirm a break of the
21-DMA, easing bullish pressure and shifting focus back to tests of 2018 lows.
     DOLLAR-WON TECHS: 21 & 55-DMAs Key Support
*RES 4: Krw1107.5 - High Nov 16
*RES 3: Krw1101.4 - High Nov 20
*RES 2: Krw1098.9 - 100-DMA

*PRICE: Krw1087.9 @ 2300GMT
*SUP 1: Krw1085.3 - Low Feb 8
*SUP 2: Krw1079.5 - Low Feb 7
*SUP 3: Krw1073.9 - High Jan 30 now support
*SUP 4: Krw1071.3 - 21-DMA
*COMMENTARY: The pair is now supported around the 55-DMA and capped around the
100-DMA. Bears need a close below the 55-DMA to hint at a correction back to
2018 lows with below the 21-DMA to confirm. Bulls still need a close above
Krw1101.4 to confirm a break of the 100-DMA and shift focus to Krw1107.5-1116.6
where the 200-DMA (Krw1114.8) is located.
     DOLLAR-MYR TECHS: Hesitating Ahead Of 21-DMA

*SUP 3: Myr3.8470 - 2016 Low Apr 13 
*SUP 4: Myr3.8180 - High July 30 2015 now support
*COMMENTARY: Recent 2018 & 2yr lows lacked follow through which is a concern for
bears given daily studies correcting from O/S. Immediate pressure has returned
to the 21-DMA with bulls now needing a close above Myr3.9491 to confirm a break
and hint at a move back to Myr4.0200-0450 where the 55-DMA (Myr4.0235) is
located. While Myr3.9491 caps bears remain focused on retests of 2018 lows.
     DOLLAR-CNH TECHS: Cnh6.3870 Resistance Key Today

*SUP 3: Cnh6.2480 - High Nar 18 2015 now support
*SUP 4: Cnh6.2478 - Bollinger band base
*COMMENTARY: 2018 & 2+ year lows were seen again Wednesday but the lack of
follow through when combined with O/S daily studies looking to correct and
momentum divergence has resulted in an aggressive correction and currently
flirts with the 21-DMA (Cnh6.3674). Bulls need a close above Cnh6.3870 to shift
focus back to Cnh6.4475-5017 where the 55-DMA (Cnh6.4931) is located. Below
Cnh6.3248 eases bullish pressure.

correction lower that now sees immediate focus on 21 & 100-DMAs. Bears now need
a close below the 100-DMA to confirm focus on Php50.588-720 where 55 & 200-DMAs
are situated. Bulls need a close above Php51.420 to regain the upper hand and
return initial focus to 2017 highs. Correcting O/S daily studies are seen
