AUD/USD: Spikes above upper Bolli to continue. The pair remained capped ahead of the Mar 19 highs to end last week, closing back below the now rising 21 day upper Bollinger band ($1.0582). Spikes above the upper Bollinger are expected to continue with an eventual break of the $1.0635 level and retest of 2012 highs favoured until we see a close below the $1.0428 Sept 12 lows.

NZD/USD: $0.8170 support key this week. Fresh 6 month highs to end the week as the pair continues to spike above the sharply rising 21 day upper Bollinger ($0.8285) but may consolidate a little to start the week as the upper Bolli catches up. The Sept 12 lows remain key support with a close below needed to remove the overall focus from retests of the 2012 highs.

USD/KRW: Sub-Krw1100 levels now the focus. USD/KRW has finally come to life with the pair pulling up just short of the 2012 lows to end last week, and very much below the now sharply falling 21 day lower Bollinger band (Krw1122.8). Sub-Krw1100 levels are now favored until the pair can manage to break back above the Krw1137.8-1141.1 resistance region.

USD/SGD: Spikes below falling channel base. USD/SGD managed to spike below the falling channel base on the daily timeframe and continues to outpace the falling 21 day Bollinger band, although will not be able to continue doing so indefinitely, with consolidation expected to start the week. Sept 10 highs remain pivotal topside with a close above seeing the channel top retested.
