Bears take some comfort in the lack of topside follow through following fresh highs for the week and the proximity of the Bollinger band top. Initial support is now noted at the 21-DMA with bears needing a close below to ease bullish pressure. Overall bears look for a close below the 55-DMA to hint at a deeper correction and below Sgd1.2435 to target 2014 lows. While the 21-DMA supports bulls continue to target Sgd1.2551-95 with the 200-DMA at Sgd1.2569

Time spent above the 55-DMA was brief with Friday’s sell-off seeing focus return to the key Krw1015.1 support. Bears continue to look for a close below Krw1015.1 to reconfirm bearish pressure and initially target the 2014 lows. Bulls continue to look for a close above Krw1026.1 to confirm an easing of bearish pressure and above Krw1032.8 to shift focus back to the Krw1042.0-1050.6 region with the 200-DMA at Krw1046.9.

The recovery from ahead of recent fresh 2014 and 9 month lows appears to be struggling ahead of the key Myr3.1775-3.1860 region with the dip to end last week. The Myr3.1860 level remains key resistance with bulls needing a close above to confirm breaks of the 21-DMA & 100-WMA (Myr3.1698) and shift focus to the Myr3.2163-3.2337 region. Daily studies are correcting from O/S and are the key concern for bears and the bearish case.

The sell-off that commenced following the Cnh3.2709 late May high has seen the USD/CNH find support at the 55-WMA. The pair bounced a little last week with the close above the 200-DMA easing bearish pressure. Bulls need a close above Cnh6.1706 to confirm a break of the 21-DMA and shift immediate focus to the Cnh6.1929-54 region where the 55-DMA is noted. Bears look for a sub 55-WMA close to add weight to the bearish case.

After having recently failed to close below the 21-DMA and then finding support at this level the break and close above Php43.810 has eased the bearish pressure and hints at a bounce that initially targets the Php44.180-280 region where the 200-DMA is noted. Bulls now look for a close above the 100-DMA to add support to the case for higher levels. Bears need a close below the 21-DMA to regain control and below Php43.505 to target 2014 lows.

Despite daily studies looking to correct from O/S levels Thursday’s rally lacked follow through on the spike above Thb32.03.

While Thb23.08-18 caps bears continue to target the Thb31.710-72 region and take comfort in Friday’s spike lower.
