*COMMENTARY: Bulls take comfort in support emerging ahead of Sgd1.3580 to start
the new week. Bears now need a close below Sgd1.3580 to shift initial focus back
to Sgd1.3490-1.3523 where the 55-DMA (Sgd1.3507) and daily bull channel base are
situated. Bulls now need a close above Sgd1.3660 to confirm a break above the
21-DMA (Sgd1.3638) and return initial focus to tests of 2018 highs. Overall a
close above Sgd1.3745 is needed to target Sgd1.4077 Apr 2017 highs.

*SUP 4: Krw1103.5 - Low June 20
*COMMENTARY: Failure to gain traction above the 200-WMA (Krw1128.4) is a concern
for bulls. Bears now look for a close below Krw1121.4 to confirm a break of the
21-DMA, easing bullish pressure, and shift focus back to Krw1096.7-1108.6 where
the 55-DMA (Krw1097.9) is situated. The Bollinger top (Krw1136.6) is the key
concern for bulls and limits follow through. In saying that, while Krw1121.4
supports bulls remain focused on Krw1145.1-1157.8 where monthly highs are
located.

in recent fresh 2018 & 7mth highs, reconfirming bullish focus on Myr4.0641-0920
where the 55-WMA is situated. Daily studies are well placed for a fresh leg
higher. Bulls now look for a close above Myr4.0650 to add support to their case.
Bears now look for a close below Myr4.0330 to gain breathing room and below
Myr3.9950 to hint at a test of Myr3.9400-9620 where the 100-DMA is noted.

June 2017 highs are located. Bulls take comfort in Monday's bounce with bears
now needing a close below Cnh6.7549 to ease bullish pressure and below Cnh6.7326

*SUP 3: Thb32.93 - Low June 27 
*SUP 4: Thb32.79 - Low June 21
*COMMENTARY: Recent fresh 2018 highs added support to the case for a test of
Thb33.54-70 where the 100-WMA is situated. Daily studies have worked off some of
their previously O/B condition and are now better placed for a fresh leg higher.
The Bollinger band top (Thb33.47) is the key concern for bulls and limits follow
through. Bears now need a close below Thb33.13 to ease bullish pressure and
below Thb32.93 to shift focus back to Thb32.49-58 where the 55-DMA is located.

initial focus back to Idr14250 and hint at a move back to the 55-DMA (Idr14133).
While Idr14420 supports bulls focus on Idr14620-730.
