OCBC flags fading bearish momentum in USD/SGD with resistance at 1.2720–1.28 and support near 1.2650.
USD/SGD has climbed alongside broader Asian currencies but at a slower pace, reflecting the Singapore Dollar’s lower beta characteristics. The move remains milder compared to peers, though external factors like yields, oil prices, and sentiment continue to influence direction.
Technical indicators show fading bearish momentum and a moderated Relative Strength Index (RSI), pointing to two-way consolidation. Key resistance levels are identified at 1.2720–1.28, while support lies near 1.2650. Analysts maintain a preference for selling rallies despite the currency’s sensitivity to external developments.
The pair’s lower beta suggests reduced volatility, though it remains exposed to shifts in global risk sentiment and commodity prices. Near-term trading is expected to stay range-bound with a cautious bias toward selling strength.
