Highlights

SGD/MYR trades above all key moving averages, confirming a bullish trend across short, medium, and long-term timeframes.
Momentum indicators offer mixed signals, with strong buying from the MACD but neutral ADX and oversold Stochastic RSI suggesting hesitation on near-term rallies.
The pair is expected to range between RM3.1826 and RM3.2415 over the next five days, with resistance at RM3.2133 and support at RM3.19.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that SGD/MYR’s recovery is largely technical and lacks robust underlying conviction. He believes that momentum indicators are diverging, which casts doubt on the sustainability of the bullish move. Kharitonov points to the mixed signals from MACD versus RSI and ADX as an early warning for short-term traders. He observes the lack of supportive news, which weakens sentiment. "Current technical upside is fragile — be cautious of potential reversals below RM3.19," he says.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees continued resilience in SGD/MYR as key moving averages point to a solid underlying uptrend. He highlights that despite recent technical hesitation, the bullish structure remains intact above RM3.19. Karapetjanc emphasizes the 63% probability of further gains as an opportunity for traders. He is encouraged by positive intraday dynamics and the well-defined volatility band. "With the current setup, I expect SGD/MYR to test RM3.2415, as further growth is still on the table," he says.

Sholanke Dele, market strategist, warns that momentum divergence signals caution for SGD/MYR. He notes that mixed technical readings, especially an oversold Stochastic RSI and a selling-biased RSI, raise the risk of false rallies. Dele underscores the lack of news, which leaves sentiment vulnerable to negative shocks. "Unless SGD/MYR decisively breaks above RM3.2133, gains look precarious in the near term," he says.

Bullish momentum challenged as mixed indicators temper gains

SGD/MYR is trading above all its key moving averages, with the current price at RM3.212 above the MA-20 at RM3.19, MA-50 at RM3.1862, and MA-200 at RM3.1326. This alignment signals short-term momentum, medium-term resilience, and confirms a bullish long-term trend, with near-term resistance at RM3.2133 and support at RM3.19. Momentum indicators are sending mixed signals. The MACD points to strong buying momentum, but the Average Directional Index (ADX) is neutral and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is in sell territory at 45.93. Stochastic RSI is at 0, indicating the pair is oversold, while Bull/Bear Power (BBP) is positive at 0.0227, so buyers dominate intraday momentum. The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and Awesome Oscillator also reflect a neutral stance. The pair climbed RM0.0253 or 0.79% today, recovering from a downside gap of about 0.05%. The price is near the intraday high, with volatility at 1.03%, indicating strength toward session highs. Momentum readings diverge, suggesting short-term rallies face hesitation despite today’s upward move.

Earlier, analysts noted that bullish technical momentum was prevailing for SGD/MYR, underpinned by strong moving average alignment and resilient support levels. The latest data adds a new dimension as mixed short-term momentum readings introduce caution, making the response to a potential breakout above RM3.2133 a critical focus for traders in the coming sessions.
