USD/SGD 1H Chart: Channel Up
Comment: After a period of consolidation in the end of August the pair started to form a bullish channel on 29th of August. At the moment USD/SGD is trading closer to the lower trend-line, thus the trend’s confirmation by touching the boundary might be expected. However, the bullish stance is likely to stay in effect, as a slight majority of the technical indicators are pointing to the north. Also, the traders’ sentiment is bullish, as a distinct majority (71.94%) of the SWFX market participants are expecting the U.S. Dollar to outperform its Singapore’s counterpart. In our opinion, the longer term target is the major level at 1.26.
AUD/CAD 4H Chart: Double Top
Comment: At the beginning of July AUD/CAD dropped below the 1.0000 mark; although, this decline stopped at 0.9939. Starting from there the pair has formed a double top pattern. The pair has reached the top around 1.0227 not only twice but already three times. Therefore, this could be perceived as a triple top pattern, yet it does not change the most likely outcome. Despite the 4H technical indicators being bullish we are sceptical on a further appreciation. To our mind the pair is likely to weaken towards the neckline at 1.0106, before falling even lower. The SWFX traders expect a decline as well, more than 73% of them see the pair as overbought.
