The spike higher Thursday lacked follow through, marginally trading above the 21-DMA (Sgd1.2492). Current focus remains on the 2014 lows with bears favouring a break lower while the 55-DMA caps with immediate focus then shifting to Oct 2013 monthly lows. Bulls need a close above the 55-DMA to confirm an easing of bearish pressure. Overall a close above the 200-DMA (Sgd1.2568) is needed to end bearish hopes and shift immediate focus to the Sgd1.2650 level.

Fresh 2014 and multi-year lows combined with continued bearish closes bode well for bears targeting sub Krw1000.0 levels. Bulls now look for a close above the Krw1012.5 level to confirm an easing of bearish focus whereas a close above Krw1025.9 is needed to end bearish hopes and hint at a move back to the Krw1042.0-1050.6 region. The only concern for bears are closes below the lower Bolli which are usually unsustainable but for now they continue.

The move lower continued Thursday with the result being a bearish close at fresh 2014 lows. Overall focus now shifts to the Myr3.1295 Oct 2013 monthly low with immediate focus on the 100-WMA. A close below the 100-WMA was last seen in late May 2013 with a close below seen as a significant bearish event. Bulls now need a close above Thursday’s Myr3.2100 high to ease bearish pressure and above the 55-DMA to hint at a bigger bounce.

The bounce from Tuesday’s fresh 3 month lows, 100-DMA and Bolli base remained capped ahead of the 21-DMA and Cnh6.2213 resistance with bulls needing a close above this region to confirm an easing of bearish pressure. Overall a close above Cnh6.2361 is needed to end bearish hopes and target 2014 highs. Bears continue to look for close below the 100-DMA but downside follow through may be limited given the proximity of the Bolli band base.

The close below php43.730 added further weight to the bearish case with bears initially focused on the 2014 low. Fresh 2014 lows then see focus shift to layers of support in the Php42.977-43.180 region which include the 200-WMA (Php42.977). Bulls look for a close above Php43.730 to ease the bearish pressure a little but layers of resistance remain in the Php43.960-44.137 region with a close above to shift focus to the Php44.790 Apr 25 high.

After having spent the better part of the last three weeks chopping around the 55 & 100-DMA’s and capped by the 21-DMA bearish pressure is starting to take its toll. The break below the previous Thb32.35 support sees immediate focus shift to the Thb32.18-29 region. Bulls now need a close above Wednesday’s high to ease bearish pressure while a close back above Thb32.54 is needed to shift overall focus back to the Thb32.73-90 region.
