DOLLAR-SING TECHS: Bears Need Close Below Sgd1.3296
*RES 4: Sgd1.3415 - Low Dec 1 now resistance
*RES 3: Sgd1.3383 - 200-DMA
*RES 2: Sgd1.3372 - Bollinger band top
*RES 1: Sgd1.3369 - High Jan 10
*PRICE: Sgd1.3305 @ 2300GMT
*SUP 1: Sgd1.3296 - High Apr 25 now support
*SUP 2: Sgd1.3210 - 100-DMA
*SUP 3: Sgd1.3197 - High Apr 6 now support
*SUP 4: Sgd1.3173 - High Apr 20
*COMMENTARY: The 200-DMA has capped this week so far with bulls needing a close
above Sgd1.3415 to confirm a break and to shift initial focus to
Sgd1.3498-1.3538. Pressure has returned to initial support with bears needing a
close below Sgd1.3296 to gain breathing room and increase the likelihood of a
correction back to Sgd1.3133-1.3210 where key DMAs are noted. Correcting O/B
studies add weight to the bearish case.
DOLLAR-WON TECHS: Broad Sideways Trading Continues
*RES 4: Krw1095.7 - 200-DMA
*RES 3: Krw1087.6 - High Mar 1
*RES 2: Krw1085.5 - High Mar 23
*RES 1: Krw1079.4 - High May 3

*SUP 4: Krw1058.7 - Low Apr 6
*COMMENTARY: Broad sideways trading Krw1052.0-1087.6 continues with the focus
shifting back to the upper end of this region following Wednesday's rally. Bulls
look for a close above Krw1087.6 to break free of the range and initially target
Krw1095.7-1098.4 where 2018 highs and the 200-DMA are located. Bears now look
for a close below Krw1064.9 to shift focus back to the lower end of the defining
Krw1052.0-1087.6 range.

*RES 4: Myr3.9420 - High Jan 22

*SUP 3: Myr3.8947 - 21-DMA

*COMMENTARY: The recovery from 2018 lows sees the pair flirting with the 100-DMA
& 21-WMA with the Myr3.9420 resistance key. Bulls look for a close above this
level to shift initial focus to Myr3.9830-4.0260 where the 200-WMA is located.
Initial support is now noted at Myr3.9250 with bears now needing a close below
to ease pressure on key resistance layers and below the 21-DMA to shift focus
back to 2018 lows.

*RES 4: Cnh6.4475 - High Jan 16

*SUP 2: Cnh6.3076 - 55-DMA
*SUP 3: Cnh6.3031 - 21-DMA
*SUP 4: Cnh6.2913 - Low Apr 24
*COMMENTARY: Bulls have failed to capitalise on the close above the 100-DMA
(Cnh6.3611) with the pair rejected ahead of the key Cnh6.3870 resistance. Bulls
continue to look for a close above this level to shift focus to Cnh6.4475-4962
where the 200-WMA & 200-DMA are located. Bears now need a close below Cnh6.2913
to confirm breaks of 21 & 55-DMAs and to shift initial focus back to 2018 lows.
DOLLAR-PHP TECHS: Bulls Need Close Above Php52.170
*RES 4: Php52.350 - Bollinger band top

*SUP 3: Php51.400 - Low Feb 9

*COMMENTARY: Bears take comfort in the 21 & 55-DMAs now capping with bears
currently focused on the broad Php51.030-569 support region where 100 & 200-DMAs
are located. Bears need a close below Php51.030 to shift focus to tests of 2018
lows. Bulls now need a close above the 55-DMA to gain breathing room and above
Php52.170 to end bearish hopes and return initial focus to 2018 highs.
DOLLAR-THB TECHS: Lacks Traction Above Bear Channel Top
*RES 4: Thb32.35 - 200-DMA
*RES 3: Thb32.06 - Alternating daily support/resistance
*RES 2: Thb31.92 - Monthly High Feb 8
*RES 1: Thb31.78 - High May 3
*PRICE: Thb31.63 @ 2300GMT
*SUP 1: Thb31.45 - Low Apr 30
*SUP 2: Thb31.39 - Alternating daily support/resistance
*SUP 3: Thb31.33 - 55-DMA
*SUP 4: Thb31.07 - 2018 Low Mar 14
*COMMENTARY: Bulls have so far failed to gain traction above the LT bear channel
top (Thb31.72) off 2017 highs. Bulls look to gain traction above the bear
channel top to confirm focus on Thb31.92-32.06 with above Thb32.06 to target the
200-DMA (Thb32.34). The close below the 100-DMA provides bears breathing room
breathing room with below the 55-DMA to shift initial focus back to 2018 lows
(Thb31.07).
DOLLAR-IDR TECHS: O/B Studies Remain A Concern
*RES 4: Idr14480 - Low Oct 5 2015 now resistance
*RES 3: Idr14090 - Monthly High Dec 14 2015
*RES 2: Idr13975 - 2016 High Jan 7

*PRICE: Idr13935 @ 2300GMT
*SUP 1: Idr13910 - High Apr 30 now support
*SUP 2: Idr13860 - Low Apr 30
*SUP 3: Idr13800 - High Mar 1 now support
*SUP 4: Idr13766 - 55-DMA
*COMMENTARY: Hesitation ahead of 2016 highs following continued fresh 2018 &
2+yr highs is less than ideal when combined with daily studies looking to
correct from O/B. In saying that, bears continue to look for a close below
Idr13910 to ease bearish pressure and below Idr13860 to shift initial focus back
to Idr13800. While Idr13910 supports bulls need a close above Idr13975 to
initially target Idr14090 and then Idr14480 last seen in 2015.
