Momentum strengthens as technical signals confirm buyers’ control

On the technical front, SB/USD trades above the MA-20 and MA-50 on the H1 timeframe and remains above the long-term MA-200. The Ichimoku Kijun at $15 sets immediate support. Momentum indicators reflect firm buying: the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Average Directional Index (ADX) present Buy signals, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 55.58 and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) also support a Buy bias. Stochastic RSI signals an oversold condition this session, and Bull/Bear Power shows strong buyer pressure. The Awesome Oscillator further supports upward momentum.

Bullish continuation likely as range-bound risk remains low

For the upcoming 2–3 sessions, SB/USD is expected to remain within a price range of $14.83 to $15.31, representing a typical volatility band relative to current levels. There is a very high probability of an upward continuation within this corridor, while a downside break is considered very unlikely. The baseline scenario calls for price consolidation inside this range, with a bullish case possible if resistance is overcome or a bearish case if immediate support at $15 fails.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees technical momentum in SB/USD as still intact but urges caution. Core indicators support further upside, with price holding above key moving averages. However, he notes that the lack of fundamental news leaves the rally vulnerable to sudden shifts. "I am staying defensive while SB/USD trades in its current range, and I only consider a stronger bullish case if resistance is broken on convincing volume."

Earlier, analysts noted that Associated British Foods’ sugar segment was facing notable headwinds from higher input costs and subdued European demand, adding pressure to the group’s overall outlook. Currently, sugar’s technical setup indicates renewed bullish momentum, suggesting traders should monitor the $15 support level closely for confirmation of sustained upside, with short-term consolidation likely in the prevailing range.
