The lack of follow through after Monday’s fresh 2014 lows has resulted in a bounce that has so far been capped at the Sgd1.2445 level confirming its significance. O/S daily studies remain a concern for bears, but in saying that, bulls need a close above Sgd1.2445 to confirm an easing of bearish pressure. Overall a close above Sgd1.2517 is needed to confirm a break of the 55-DMA and shift immediate focus to the 100 & 200-DMA’s.
