Asian Currencies Technicals

AUD/USD: Bounces From Ahead Of Initial Support. The pair bounced from ahead of the $1.0420 level that previously capped with focus remaining topside on retests of the Sept monthly highs. The 21-DMA remains key and we will continue to look for a close below the Nov 20 lows as confirmation of a break of the 21-DMA. The 21 day upper Bollinger is heading gently higher with spikes above expected.

NZD/USD: Bounces From 21-DMA Once More. The NZD confirmed the significance of the 21-DMA support bouncing back towards Nov 7 highs following another test. A close below the 21-DMA is needed to shift the immediate focus away from tests of Sept monthly highs and back to retests of the 200-DMA with a close below the 200-DMA not seen since early Sept.

AUD/JPY: Focus Now on Weekly High. The pair managed to take out small stops below the Jpy85.35 low as daily tech studies correct from very overbought levels. AUD/JPY now needs to close back above the Nov 26 high or else risk a deeper correction back towards the 21-DMA. A close below the 21-DMA is needed to end the current bullish move and return focus to the 200-DMA.

USD/KRW: 21-DMA Caps Again. USD/KRW has again retested the 21-DMA but has failed to close above. A close above the 21-DMA is needed to relieve immediate downside pressure, with a close above Nov 16 highs needed to confirm a break of the 21-DMA, an end to the current downtrend and shift focus higher to retests of the Krw1110-1125 region.
RES 4: Krw1117.4 – High Oct 11

SUP 4: Krw1048.3 – 2011 low Aug 1

USD/SGD: Bounces From Initial Support. USD/SGD continues to trade sideways within the relatively narrow recent Sgd1.2203-1.2271 range. A close either side of these parameters is needed to inject fresh life into the pair, but while the Nov 7 low remains in play there is a slight bullish bias favoured with a close above the Nov 16 high needed to confirm a break higher.
RES 4: Sgd1.2372 – High Sept 11
RES 3: Sgd1.2339 – High Sept 26
RES 2: Sgd1.2296 – High Nov 16
