Asian Currencies Technicals

AUD/USD: Cracks appearing in trend higher. Sharp dip Friday combined with overbought daily tech studies and failures ahead of the March 19 high could be indicating its time for a pullback for the AUD/USD. Back below the Aug 2 lows is needed to shift focus away from higher levels and back to retests of the July
monthly lows, with above March 19 highs now needed to kick start topside momentum.

NZD/USD: $0.8069 Key support to start the week. The pullback towards initial support at $0.8069 continues with a break below needed to shift focus back to retests of
July monthly lows and away from retests of the April 30 highs. Overbought daily tech studies appear to be having an impact on the move
higher with a move above $0.8235 needed to keep topside hopes alive.

AUD/JPY: Expected to remain heavy this week. Friday's dip below Jpy82.50 hints at a possible end to the current uptrend with the 200 day MA seen as somewhat pivotal. 21 day
upper Bollinger band continues to rise but is starting to slow with the market likely to be watching last weeks highs very closely. Failure to
take out last weeks highs early this week likely sees the 200 day MA tested.

USD/KRW: Break lower lacked follow through. Following the break to fresh 4 month lows last week the pair lacked follow through and combined with oversold daily tech
studies could be hinting at a bounce back towards the 200 day MA. Above the 200 day MA is needed to shift focus back to the Krw1155-1165 region
but while the 200 day MA caps the 2012 lows remain the focal point.
RES 4: Krw1165.2 - High June 18

SUP 3: Krw1112.8 - 2012 Low Mar 2
SUP 4: Krw1092.5 - Low Sept 14

USD/SGD: Sgd1.2514-38 resistance region to watch. USD/SGD ended last week looking heavy once again with the pair continuing to target retests of the 2012 lows until it can
manage a close above resistance in the Sgd1.2514-38 region. Oversold daily tech studies remain a concern as does a now correcting falling 21
day lower Bollinger band but for now the trend lower remains in play.
RES 4: Sgd1.2644 - High July 25
RES 3: Sgd1.2615 - 100 day moving average
RES 2: Sgd1.2538 - Hourly resistance July 27

SUP 4: Sgd1.2000 - Key psychological support
