DOLLAR-SING TECHS: Bears Focused On Sgd1.3000-52 Region
*RES 4: Sgd1.3224 - Daily Bear channel top 
*RES 3: Sgd1.3214 - High Mar 5 
*RES 2: Sgd1.3210 - 55-DMA 
*RES 1: Sgd1.3151 - Hourly resistance Mar 12
*PRICE: Sgd1.3124 @ 2300GMT
*SUP 1: Sgd1.3085 - Bollinger band base
*SUP 2: Sgd1.3052 - Low Feb 16 
*SUP 3: Sgd1.3013 - 2018 Low Jan 25 
*SUP 4: Sgd1.3000 - Monthly Low Dec 16 2014
*COMMENTARY: Hesitation ahead of the 55-DMA and daily bear channel top off Oct
highs has taken its toll with the close below Sgd1.3131 reconfirming bearish
focus on Sgd1.3000-52 where 2018 lows are situated. The Bollinger base is the
key concern for bears with potential to limit follow through. Initial resistance
is noted at Sgd1.3151 but bulls need a close above the bear channel top to ease
bearish pressure and shift focus to Sgd1.3284-1.3369.
     DOLLAR-WON TECHS: 21-DMA Continues To Cap
*RES 4: Krw1087.6 - High Mar 1
*RES 3: Krw1084.6 - Daily Bear channel top off Sept high
*RES 2: Krw1083.1 - 100-DMA
*RES 1: Krw1073.5 - 21-DMA
*PRICE: Krw1065.9 @ 2300GMT

*SUP 2: Krw1054.7 - 2018 Low Jan 15
*SUP 3: Krw1045.6 - Monthly Low Oct 29 2014
*SUP 4: Krw1030.6 - Daily Bear channel base
*COMMENTARY: The 100-DMA reconfirmed significance as resistance having so far
capped the recovery from Feb lows. Topside hesitation has taken its toll with an
aggressive sell-off and bearish closes that sees immediate focus on 2018 lows
and overall focus on the bear channel base around Krw1030.6. Daily studies have
room to move before O/S becomes an issue. Bulls still need a close above the
21-DMA to ease bearish pressure and above Krw1087.6 to shift focus higher.
     DOLLAR-MYR TECHS: Above Myr3.9420 To Ease Bearish Pressure
*RES 4: Myr3.9830 - Alternating daily support/resistance

*SUP 3: Myr3.8470 - 2016 Low Apr 13 
*SUP 4: Myr3.8180 - High July 30 2015 now support
*COMMENTARY: A close above Myr3.9420 is needed to ease bearish pressure. The
200-WMA has capped since the close below in Jan. Bulls look for a close above
the 200-WMA to hint at a move back to Myr4.0260-0450 where the 100-DMA
(Myr4.0275) is noted with above Myr3.9830 to confirm. While the 200-WMA caps,
bears initially focus on the 2018 low with a close below still needed to target
Myr3.8180.
     DOLLAR-CNH TECHS: Cnh6.3773-3870 Resistance Remains Key

*SUP 2: Cnh6.2889 - Bollinger band base
*SUP 3: Cnh6.2867 - Low Feb 27
*SUP 4: Cnh6.2678 - Low Feb 16
*COMMENTARY: The Cnh6.3771-3870 resistance region where the 55-DMA is located
remains key. Bulls continue to look for a close above Cnh6.3870 to confirm a
break of the 55-DMA, ending bearish hopes and shifting initial focus to
Cnh6.4475-4657. While Cnh6.3771-3870 caps bears remain focused on retests of
2018 lows with below Cnh6.3054 needed to add weight to their case.
     DOLLAR-PHP TECHS: Php51.872 & Php52.213 Levels Now Key
*RES 4: Php52.560 - Low July 18 2006 now resistance 
*RES 3: Php52.501 - 2018 High Feb 19

*SUP 2: Php51.639 - Low Feb 23 
*SUP 3: Php51.400 - Low Feb 9 
*SUP 4: Php51.233 - 55-DMA
*COMMENTARY: Initial resistance is now noted at Php52.213 with bulls needing a
close above to gain breathing room and reconfirm initial focus on retests of
2018 highs. Daily studies are at neutral levels but narrowing Bollinger bands
increase the risk of a breakout in the near future. Bears look for a close below
Php51.872 to confirm an easing of bullish pressure and below Php51.639 to shift
initial focus back to Php51.233-400 where the 55-DMA is located.

*SUP 3: Thb30.80 - Monthly Low July 24 2013 
*SUP 4: Thb30.42 - Low June 14 2013
*COMMENTARY: Pressure has returned to 2018 lows. Bears look for a close below to
reconfirm focus on the Thb30.80-85 region where the LT bear channel base and
July 2013 monthly low are situated. Layers of resistance remain in place. Bulls
now look for a close above Thb31.74 to confirm a break of the 55-DMA and to
shift initial focus to Thb31.92-32.06. The Bollinger band base (Thb31.18) is the
key concern for bears.

*SUP 3: Idr13618 - High Feb 21 now support 
*SUP 4: Idr13539 - 100-DMA
*COMMENTARY: Correcting O/B studies have taken their toll with a close below the
daily bull channel base (Idr14009) leaving the pair looking a little heavy.

overall focus back to Idr13530-539 where 55 & 100-DMAs are situated. Bulls now
