Highlights

USD/ILS trades below all major daily moving averages, indicating ongoing downside pressure across multiple timeframes.
Negative momentum persists, with bearish readings from MACD, ADX, Awesome Oscillator, and confirmed oversold conditions from RSI, CCI, and Stochastic RSI.
Expected five-day range is ₪2.9377 to ₪3.0035, with a high probability of further declines unless price breaks above ₪3.0035.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, is wary of the current USD/ILS rebound. He notes that the technical picture remains bearish, with price below major moving averages and persistent downward momentum. The lack of supportive news or catalysts limits any fundamental upside potential. Kharitonov highlights oversold signals but views these as insufficient to reverse the dominant downtrend for now. "Rallies in such technical setups usually fade quickly unless a structural shift emerges, so caution is warranted for both bulls and bears."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees constructive opportunity in the recent USD/ILS action. The oversold state and strong intraday recovery hint at latent bullish potential, even if fundamentals offer no immediate headlines. He believes that a move above ₪3.0035 could energize further buying interest. "Despite prevailing negativity, the market offers setups for swift upside if key resistance gets breached."

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, underscores the importance of short-term sentiment for USD/ILS. The recent bounce, driven by oversold readings, creates tactical long and short trade opportunities within the identified range. He sees price trapped between bearish signals and attempts at relief rallies. "The setup demands agile positioning — those quick to spot momentum swings can capitalize on either side of the volatility band."

Bearish momentum persists as major averages fail to support recovery

USD/ILS trades below all major daily moving averages, with a last price of ₪2.9706 sitting under the 20-day (₪3.0193), 50-day (₪3.0139), and 200-day (₪3.0358) levels. This positioning signals ongoing pressure from sellers across short-, medium-, and long-term horizons, supported by a bearish medium-to-long-term trend alignment. Key intraday levels to watch are the near-term ceiling at ₪3.0035 and floor at ₪2.9694. Momentum signals remain negative. The MACD and ADX both forecast further downside. The RSI and CCI highlight oversold conditions, with the Stochastic RSI confirming an oversold stance. BBP at -0.0163 indicates sellers dominate intraday momentum, aligning with the oversold readings. The AO is also negative, further supporting the bearish trend. On the day, the pair is up ₪0.0154 or 0.52% with an upside gap of approximately 0.13% at the open. The current price is near the session high and intraday volatility stands at 0.88%. There is evidence of strength toward the highs, although this comes against a strong backdrop of negative momentum.

Earlier, analysts noted that persistent bearish momentum and dominant selling pressure were likely to keep USD/ILS under downside control. The latest analysis reinforces this view, highlighting a prevailing risk of further declines if the pair remains capped below key resistance at ₪3.0035.
