AUD/USD: Lower Levels Remain Favoured. The pair recovered a little lost ground yesterday but currently remains capped at the $1.0370 level and needs to close above Friday’s highs to return focus to retests of Sept monthly highs. Until then a break of the pivotal $1.0290-15 support region remains favoured with a move back to Oct monthly lows the current overall focus.

NZD/USD: $0.8230 Level Key Today. The lower daily high/low following fresh 4 week highs doesn’t bode well for the bulls and we now look for a close below the Nov 6 low to place pressure on the 21-DMA with a break lower favoured. It is worth noting that a short term daily rising trend line off Oct 25 lows also supports around $0.8230 today adding further significance.

AUD/JPY: Cracks Starting To Appear Topside. Fresh 6 month highs to end last week have been followed up with a lower daily high and low and combined with correcting overbought daily momentum, slow stochastic and RSI studies a correction back towards Oct 30 lows remains favoured. The Jpy81.26-65 region is seen as key support with a close below seeing Oct lows become the focus.

USD/KRW: Daily Tech Studies Remain Oversold. USD/KRW continues to hover just above 2012 lows as daily RSI and Slow Stochastic studies remain in oversold territory and threaten to impact at some stage. The 21-DMA remains key to relieving immediate downside pressure with a close above not seen since early Sept. A close above the 21-DMA would see focus turn to retests of the key Krw1124.8 resistance.
RES 4: Krw1117.4 – High Oct 11

RES 2: Krw1102.9 – 21 day moving average

USD/SGD: 21-DMA Now Supporting. USD/SGD broke the falling daily trendline that has been in place for 5 months yesterday, but with the pair failing to close above we now look for a close above yesterday’s high as a confirmation of the break. Initial support is now seen at the 21-DMA but a close below the Nov 1 lows is needed to see fresh 2012 lows become the focus once more.
