USD/SGD: Range trading with downside bias – OCBC

OCBC strategists Sim Moh Siong and Christopher Wong see USD/SGD consolidating as markets await clarity on a potential US–Iran deal. The pair has slipped slightly on tentative optimism, but Iran has yet to respond and a 48‑hour deadline looms, keeping some caution in place. They expect two-way trade with a mild downside bias, preferring to sell rallies against nearby resistance.

Two-way trade and sell-on-rally stance

"USD/SGD slipped slightly overnight on tentative signs of optimism that US-Iran may be near a deal. That said, Iran has yet to revert and the 48-hour deadline runs out just before the weekend."

"Some caution may still prevail if there is a lack of follow-through today. Pair was last at 1.2680 levels. Daily momentum is flat while RSI fell. 2-way trades likely with slight bias to the downside."

"Support at 1.2660 levels (76.4% fibo), 1.2610 levels. Resistance at 1.2720 (61.8% fibo retracement of 2026 low to high), 1.2770 (50, 100 DMAs), 1.28. Bias to sell rallies preferred."
