Singapore Dollar Technical Outlook

The Singapore Dollar continues to trade in a congestive zone between 1.3527 and 1.3389 against the US Dollar. This follows USD/SGD pushing above the falling zone of resistance from June, opening the door to reversing the dominant downtrend after bottoming in February. Now, the 200-day Simple Moving Average is fast approaching and it may reinstate the focus to the downside. Otherwise, pushing above 1.3525 exposes peaks from November.

Philippine Peso Technical Outlook

The US Dollar could be getting ready to resume its push higher against the Philippine Peso after USD/PHP appeared to bottom in February. The pair seems to be trading within a bullish Pennant chart pattern. A break above the ceiling of the pennant could open the door to revisiting the 48.82 – 48.99 resistance zone for a chance to resume the near-term uptrend. However, prices are also consolidating around the 200-day SMA as USD/PHP struggles to overturn what has been the dominant downtrend since last year.

Thai Baht Technical Outlook

The US Dollar seems to have overturned its dominant downtrend against the Thai Baht. USD/THB has now pushed above falling resistance from April, subsequently confirming a breakout above the 200-day SMA. The pair is now eyeing the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at 31.0615. But, negative RSI divergence does show that upside momentum is fading. This might precede a turn lower, placing the focus on near-term rising support from February. The latter could reinstate the upside focus towards the midpoint of the retracement at 31.466.

Indonesian Rupiah Technical Outlook

The US Dollar is struggling to make further upside progress against the Indonesian Rupiah. While USD/IDR has extended February’s bottom, prices broke under near-term rising support from then. Meanwhile, the pair is consolidating around the 200-day SMA. Now, negative RSI divergence warns that a turn lower could be in store. Such an outcome may place the focus on the 14280 inflection point. Otherwise, breaching the 14563 – 14525 inflection zone would expose peaks from September.
