AUD/USD: Bounces From Key Support Region. The $1.0330-50 region remains key support with the AUD/USD bouncing back towards the Nov 7 and 8 highs to start the week. A close below the key support region is needed to end bullish aspirations and see focus turn to retests of the Oct monthly lows. The upper Bollinger band is noted at $1.0457 with spikes above seen as profit taking opportunities.

NZD/USD: $0.8200-30 Region Key Resistance. The pair has bounced towards the 21-DMA with a close above needed to relieve downside pressure. We look for a close above the $0.8232 resistance level as confirmation of a break of the 21-DMA with focus then returning to the Nov highs so far at $0.8307. While the $0.8197-32 region caps focus remains on layers of support $0.8080-15.

USD/KRW: Continues To Remain Heavy. The 21-DMA continues to remain key with a close above needed to relieve downside pressure and shift focus back to the Krw1117-1125 region. The 100-WMA is noted at Krw1119.2, increasing the significance of the Krw1117-1125 resistance region. Daily tech studies are slowly correcting but the pair currently remains heavy.

USD/SGD: Flat Bolli Bands Suggest More Sideways. USD/SGD remains supported by the 21-DMA and capped by the Nov 5 highs with flattening 21-day Bollinger bands suggesting sideways trading may continue for the time being. Overall while the Nov 1 lows continue to support a break higher remains slightly favoured. Back below Nov 1 low sees fresh 2012 lows on the cards once more.
