Pakistan seeks US liquidity support to counter persistent rupee pressure

Pakistan has approached the US Treasury Department to secure a $10 billion facility aimed at supporting its foreign exchange reserves and stabilizing the rupee, according to Economictimes Indiatimes. The request directly targets liquidity buffers and is intended to improve currency stability by bolstering Pakistan's ability to intervene in the forex market. If realized, such a facility could help reduce selling pressure on the rupee, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Bearish momentum dominates amid oversold readings and weak resistance

SAR/PKR trades below the MA-20 at PKR73.94 and MA-50 at PKR73.986 on the H1 chart, and remains under the MA-200 at PKR74.345 on the daily chart. The closest resistance level is set by the Ichimoku Kijun at PKR73.76. Momentum indicators are negative: MACD and ADX signal a sell bias, while RSI stands at 40.186, with Stochastic RSI and CCI also indicating oversold or bearish conditions. Bull/Bear Power diverges slightly in favor of buyers in intraday trading, and the Awesome Oscillator is neutral.

Limited rebound seen as price risks further drop below key support

For the next two to three sessions, SAR/PKR is expected to trade within a range of PKR73.248 to PKR73.984, reflecting a typical volatility band relative to current levels. The probability of a near-term rebound is considered very low, while the risk of a further decline below support remains elevated. A sideways scenario forms the baseline unless a clear breakout above resistance materializes.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, points out the SAR/PKR pair remains weak, trading below all key moving averages with technicals signaling bearish momentum. He notes Pakistan’s move to secure a $10 billion facility from the US Treasury as a positive macro step aimed at supporting the rupee and stabilizing reserves. However, despite this policy effort, broader sentiment and technical signals favor caution over an immediate rebound. Karapetjanc believes any meaningful recovery will depend on visible inflows or a clear break above resistance. "For now, I see stabilization efforts as encouraging, but the short-term outlook remains bearish until we see a sustained shift in trend or liquidity flows materialize."

In a recent review, analysts noted that SAR/PKR was trading within a narrow range, with a bias toward a potential upside breakout amid mixed technical signals. The current article signals a shift toward a weaker rupee outlook, highlighting increased downside risk and making sustained support at the lower end of the current trading band a key level to monitor in the near term.
