United Overseas Bank’s (UOB) Quek Ser Leang reports that the USD/SGD pair closed almost unchanged at 1.2924, reflecting a stable exchange rate between the Singapore Dollar and the US Dollar. Despite the lack of significant movement, short-term momentum has shifted slightly lower, suggesting a mild downward bias in the near term [1]. Leang expects intraday price action to remain within the 1.2900–1.2935 range, with the risk of a break below 1.2890 increasing over the coming weeks. Firm support is noted at 1.2875, while strong resistance at 1.2955 is expected to cap any upside moves [1].
For the 24-hour view, UOB indicated that the USD is likely to trade within a range between 1.2900 and 1.2935, which was largely confirmed as the USD traded in a slightly higher range of 1.2913/1.2938 but closed at 1.2924 (+0.04%) [1]. The slight increase in downward momentum is expected to keep the USD trading in a lower range rather than triggering a sustained decline [1].
Looking ahead to the 1-3 week view, UOB has maintained a range-trading outlook since early last week, revising the expected range higher to 1.2890/1.2990. However, the USD has been trading closer to the lower end of this range recently, and the risk of breaking below 1.2890 is increasing. If the USD breaches the strong resistance at 1.2955, it would signal a continuation of range-bound trading [1].

CONCLUSION
The USD/SGD pair remains stable with a slight downward bias, as technical analysis points to increased risk of a break below 1.2890. Market impact is expected to be low, with range-bound trading likely to persist in the near term. No significant market-moving events or reactions were reported.
