AUD/USD: The pair is distancing itself a little from the key $0.9665 resistance level after having failed at attempts higher to start the week. We will continue to look for a close above the June 6 high to relieve the immediate bearish focus with the pair currently targeting a test of the Aug 2010 monthly low at $0.8771. Overall the pair needs to close back above the $0.9838 resistance level to see focus shift back to $1.0112.

AUD/JPY: Immediate bearish focus remains on spikes below the sharply falling 21 day lower Bollinger band with the Jpy85.27 level our overall downside target. The pair needs to close back above the June 6 high with the 21-DMA noted just above, to relieve the current bearish focus, while back above the May 30 high is needed to shift overall focus higher and back to 2013 high.

USD/SGD: With the pair remaining confined to the initial support and resistance parameters we will look for a break of the recent range to indicate the next move. Topside a close back above Sgd1.2637 remains needed to see focus return to a retest of the 2013 high as daily tech studies slowly correct from oversold levels. The 200-DMA is also expected to provide some support on the way down.
