Asian Currencies Technicals

AUD/USD: Starting the week looking heavy. The AUD risks taking out the $1.0158 support that we noted as pivotal last week with a break lower seeing focus shift to tests of the 21 day lower Bollinger band and then the 2012 lows beneath. Daily tech studies are correcting lower from just short of o/b levels and the failure to end last week above key moving averages also weighs
on the pair.

AUD/JPY: 200 day MA break targeted this week. AUD/JPY was rejected at the Jpy82.50-75 resistance region on its first attempt last week and has managed to find support at the 200 day MA for now. The pair is expected to start the week on a heavy note with a test of June 25 lows favoured this week with a close above the 100 day MA needed to refocus attention on higher levels.

NZD/USD: Lower levels targeted this week. Although the NZD managed to end the week above the somewhat pivotal 200 day ma ($0.7949) the pair remains heavy with daily tech studies correcting from o/b levels and a test of the June 28 lows now initially favoured. The pair needs to close back above last weeks highs and the key 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level to shift focus higher.

USD/SGD: Sgd1.2610-1.2890 range trading this week. The July 5 lows with be watched closely downside with the pair having bounced back towards initial resistance on Friday following a double daily bottom around Sgd1.2607. The risk this week is for a continuation higher that sees the Sgd1.2885-95 region retested with below the July 5 lows needed to negate this view.
