OANDA:USDSGD   U.S. Dollar / Singapore Dollar
EUR/USD is showing a clear downtrend with the hourly chart moving sideways with a bearish tendency. Daily Resistance has been tested once and failed which caused the downtrend to continue. A New H4 Institutional Order Flow Area (aka Supply & Demand) which could push the downtrend further.


The Monthly trend is Bearish
The Weekly trend is Bearish
The Daily trend is Bearish
The H4 trend is Bearish
The H1 trend is moving sideways with a bearish tendency

We are going with the general trend but are slightly concerned about the hourly sideways movement.

Institutional Order Flow Areas (aka Supply & Demand):
Demand – Large amount of Institutional Buy Orders
Supply - Large amount of Institutional Sell Orders

A New untested H4 Institutional Order Flow Area (aka Supply & Demand) area have been created which pushed the trend down.


COT (Commitment of Traders) Report Analysis:
The Commitments of Traders (COT) is a report issued by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). It aggregates the holdings of participants in the U.S. futures markets (primarily based in Chicago and New York), where commodities, metals, and currencies are bought and sold.

COT (Commitments of Traders) increased their long positions on the USD and also increased their long positions and decreased their short positions, currently 80% Long Positions and 20% Short Positions, which means that the USD will start increasing in strength. This simply means the they are position building with a steady increase of long positions over the last few weeks.

No COT information available on the SGD.


Currency Strength Indication:

Monthly:
The USD is weaker than the SGD with a LOW WEAKNESS
