AUD/USD: Looking Tired, Focus Topside For Now. The pair dipped below previous hourly support and we now look for a close below yesterday’s lows to end hopes of a retest of the upper Bollinger band. The Nov 20 high is also the level to watch topside today and with the pair looking a little tired a close above Nov 20 highs is needed to maintain topside focus.

NZD/USD: $0.8185-32 Resistance Region Caps Again. The $0.8185-32 resistance region has again confirmed its significance with the Kiwi pulling back from another attempt higher. While this region caps overall focus remains on tests of the 200-DMA with a close below then seeing focus ratchet lower to the July monthly lows. The 21 day lower Bollinger is at $0.8085 and should slow the move lower.

AUD/JPY: Targeting Rising Daily Channel Top. Fresh 7 month highs yet again for AUD/JPY as the pair works its way towards the rising daily channel top noted in the Jpy85.40-45 region today. Initial support remains at the Nov 19 low, but a close below the Jpy81.99 double daily bottom is needed to confirm an end to the current uptrend off the Oct monthly lows.

USD/KRW: 21-DMA Remains Key Resistance. Fresh 2012 lows for USD/KRW yesterday and a spike below the lower 21 day Bollinger band (Krw1081.6) as the pair continues to work its way towards the falling daily channel base. For now the 21-DMA remains key resistance for USD/KRW with a close above needed to end the current nearly 6 month long downtrend.

USD/SGD: 21-DMA Continues To Support. USD/SGD continues to find support ahead of the 21-DMA although remaining heavy with daily tech studies unwinding from modestly overbought levels. Below the Nov 7 lows is needed to confirm a break of the 21-DMA and see focus return to retests of 2012 lows. While the 21-DMA supports a slim chance of a bounce remains favoured.
