The forecast for the USD/SGD turned bearish again after this currency pair advanced into its Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Cloud. Economic and inflation data out of the US suggest overall worse conditions than central bankers and economists forecasted. Volatility is likely to increase as the Tenkan-sen and the Kijun-sen sidelined below the descending Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Cloud. The CCI moved out of extreme overbought territory, confirming a weakening bullish trend, and has more room to the downside. Can bears force the USD/SGD into its horizontal support area?
