The forecast for the EUR/SGD turned bearish after stalling at resistance. While the Kijun-sen continues to advance, the Tenkan-sen shows signs of exhaustion. Price action disconnected from its moderately ascending Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Cloud and is expected to retrace until it can reconnect. The CCI moved out of extreme overbought territory and has more downside potential. Financial markets remain elevated and ignore the mounting warning signs for the global economy, favoring a stronger Singapore Dollar over the Euro, and by extension, the US Dollar.
