US Dollar, USD/SGD, USD/THB, USD/PHP, USD/IDR – ASEAN Technical Analysis
- US Dollar saw mixed performance against ASEAN currencies
- USD/SGD still consolidating, USD/THB could turn higher next
- USD/IDR at risk of further losses, USD/PHP may trade lower
Singapore Dollar Technical Outlook
The US Dollar remains in a consolidative state against the Singapore Dollar, albeit with a slight downward bias. USD/SGD recently bounced off key horizontal support between 1.3158 and 1.3189. This also followed positive RSI divergence, a sign of fading downward momentum. The 20- and 50-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) continue to uphold a downward trajectory, especially after the two lines formed a bearish ‘Death Cross’ back in April. The latter may push the pair to retest key support ahead.

Thai Baht Technical Outlook
The Thai Baht is fast approaching the floor of a bullish Cup and Handle chart pattern. A bounce off support could send USD/THB higher towards the ceiling of the handle. Such an outcome would likely keep the chart pattern in play. This is as the 100-day SMA approaches from below. Positive RSI divergence is also warning that prices may turn higher next.

Indonesian Rupiah Technical Outlook
The US Dollar could be at risk to the Indonesian Rupiah. USD/IDR confirmed a break under rising support from February. This is as the downside implications of a bearish Rising Wedge remain in play, as well as a ‘Death Cross’ between the 20-day and 50-day SMAs. A drop through key support at 14195 may open the door to extending April’s top. Such an outcome could see the pair aim for the 13872 – 14012 support zone.

Philippine Peso Technical Outlook
The Philippine Peso continues to outperform against the US Dollar, albeit at a very slow and steady pace. USD/PHP has been struggling to confirm the break under the 47.6780 – 47.8670 support zone. Positive RSI divergence is showing that downside momentum is fading. But, the 20-day and 50-day SMAs continue to favor a downside technical bias. A drop through the 123.6% Fibonacci extension at 47.5795 may open the door to further losses.
