The forecast for the NZD/SGD remains bearish after this currency pair has reached the top of its descending price channel. Price action moved above its flat Tenkan-sen, but the latest candlestick pattern confirms bearish dominance. The Kijun-sen is also flat, and the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Cloud started to lose bullish momentum with the Senkou Span B flat. Traders should expect a rise in volatility as the CCI extends its advance until it reaches extreme overbought territory. A breakdown will offer traders a final sell signal.
