USD/SGD some upside likely if above 1.2700

“USD/SGD could take on a bullish tone if it ends the day above 1.2700, above the Ichimoku Cloud and out of the Bollinger downtrend channel,” said Ewen Chew at DowJones, adding: “The greenback is rising as downside momentum evaporates with traders now focusing on next week's U.S. FOMC meeting at which tapering of QE may be announced. A Friday close above 1.2700 could see USD/SGD climb toward the 20-day Bollinger mid at 1.2750, and possibly to the Bollinger uptrend channel at 1.2800.”
