EUR/SGD sends signals of reversal

Source: Dukascopy Bank SA
EUR/SGD still trades inside of the nine-year channel down pattern, but gives signals of a reversal in the nearest future. Firstly, the pair has touched the upper trend-line of the channel three times over the last couple of years and has failed to slump back down towards the bottom trend-line for four years already. Secondly, the pair has just exited the Pitchfork of the same slide, setting the ultimate ground at 1.4484. The pair additionally formed a descending triangle, which had the potential to lead the rate back underneath the trend-line, but failed to do so, allowing a violation of the upper trend-line, which the pair has corrected since. The dedication with which EUR/SGD is pushing through levels of significance could indicate that a break above the channel could follow next.

The Accelerator/Decelerator Oscillator appears to also be contemplating whether to leave the red zone for good, as it did not really manage to really enter negative territory as it should have if the recent pattern were to continue. The Alligator index points to a ranging market amid a sleeping Alligator, meaning that a trend might emerge soon, but that it might not be a good time to open positions. Same can be said about other indicators, most of which have entered the grey area. If we, however, exclude the Election jump, we see that the last fractal dipped underneath the Alligator teeth line, sending a legitimate SELL signal. While the latest reading of the parabolic SAR indicator lies above the current market price, we still speculate on a reversal of the bearish market.  

As far as levels are concerned, the Fibonacci Expansion got it right more than once, and predicted the latest high at 1.7706 with astounding precision. The next level from above is the 38.20% seven-month Fibonacci retracement and the eight and a half month Fibonacci Expansion confluence at 1.5715. The pair has also been attempting the Gann angle of the senior fall, and could undergo a conclusive breakout if it continues to launch the attacks.  

The Euro could shake up relevant markets upon the German Ifo Business Climate announcement on Thursday 9:00 GMT and could potentially help the pair break some of the technical levels.
