Highlights

The Federal Reserve maintained interest rates unchanged with a strong majority, signaling continued caution given global uncertainty.
Stable U.S. monetary policy reinforces upward pressure on long-term lending rates and the federal government's debt-servicing costs.
Despite near-term bullish momentum in USD/SGD, technical indicators suggest consolidation between S$1.2801 and S$1.2826, with downside risk outweighing the chance of a sustained rally.

Stable Fed policy limits rate volatility amid global uncertainties

The U.S. Federal Reserve has held interest rates steady at its most recent Federal Open Market Committee meeting, with members voting 10-2 in favor of no change to the federal funds rate. The announcement also included an updated outlook amid ongoing international tensions. The central bank's policy continues to influence long-term lending rates and the cost of maintaining the U.S. national debt.

Bullish technical signals persist despite mixed momentum indicators

Technically, USD/SGD trades above the Ichimoku Kijun support at S$1.2735, reinforcing the current bullish structure in the near term. Momentum indicators reflect upside potential: the daily MACD signals a strong buy, and ADX remains above 25 in bullish territory. RSI is just above neutral at 51.9, while Stoch RSI is in oversold territory daily but overbought on intraday intervals, indicating a divergence in momentum signals. BBP points to ongoing buyer dominance intraday, though the Awesome Oscillator remains neutral and the current price trades near today's session highs following a flat open.

Sideways trading likely as downside risks outweigh breakout odds

Over the coming week, USD/SGD is expected to consolidate within a typical volatility band between S$1.2801 and S$1.2826. The probability of a price increase remains low — less than 20% — given that only the weekly ADX is not bearish, suggesting further downside risk prevails. The baseline scenario is a sideways move in a tight corridor. A decisive break above S$1.2826 would point to a possible test of the S$1.2860 area, while a drop below S$1.2801 could expose support toward the S$1.2750 zone.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees USD/SGD as maintaining bullish momentum above key short-term moving averages, though longer-term resistance near the SMA-200 remains influential. He notes that U.S. Federal Reserve policy is a key macro driver, shaping both international flows and broad sentiment. Despite upward technical signals, he believes the consolidation range is likely to hold in the short term. Breakouts beyond S$1.2826 could trigger fresh upside, but the odds favor a sideways move. "As long as the pair holds above short-term supports and global conditions remain steady, I expect the bullish structure to be maintained with room for eventual upside attempts."

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/SGD showed short- and medium-term bullish momentum, but faced headwinds from lingering long-term resistance and overbought signals. With mixed momentum readings and current consolidation below key resistance, traders should watch for a decisive move beyond S$1.2860 to signal sustainable upside, while a failure to hold above S$1.2801 could expose the pair to renewed downside risk.
