Highlights

USD/ILS trades below major moving averages, with selling pressure persistent across short, medium, and long-term trends.
Bearish momentum dominates with MACD and RSI issuing sell signals, although short-term intraday signals turn briefly bullish.
USD/ILS is expected to trade between ₪2.9546 and ₪3.024 over the next five sessions, with the baseline scenario projecting sideways movement.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that USD/ILS remains under sustained bearish pressure. He highlights the pair’s consistent trading below key moving averages and the lack of supportive news flow for buyers. Macroeconomic drivers are absent, amplifying the technical negatives. Kharitonov points out that indecision in momentum indicators, with both overbought and neutral readings, signals vulnerability rather than opportunity. "At this stage, I see no conviction for a bullish reversal, and sellers are likely to retain control until clear fundamentals emerge," he states.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees prolonged downside as an attractive opening for value-oriented participants. He believes that recent volatility creates setups for active risk management and tactical entries near support at ₪2.9869. The analyst underlines that, despite lacking news-driven catalysts, the market offers opportunities to capture rebounds should resistance at ₪3.0059 break. "With disciplined positioning, further gains toward ₪3.024 are firmly on the table," Karapetjanc affirms.

Sholanke Dele, market strategist, finds sentiment weak as sellers dominate both the technical outlook and short-term dynamics. He notes the absence of supportive news or macro catalysts amplifies prevailing uncertainty. Dele warns that false intraday bullish signals could trigger abrupt reversals if support at ₪2.9869 fails. "I remain very cautious here — without fresh drivers, downside risks will likely persist," he concludes.

Bearish momentum dominates as major moving averages and signals align

USD/ILS is trading below the 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages (₪3.0062, ₪3.015, and ₪3.0325), indicating consistent negative bias across time frames. Immediate technical levels include resistance at the near-term ceiling of ₪3.0059 and the Ichimoku Kijun at ₪3.0174, while support stands at ₪2.9869. Bearish signals persist across momentum indicators, as MACD and RSI both indicate sell conditions. The ADX is neutral, pointing to a lack of strong trend conviction, while the Stochastic RSI is overbought and CCI remains neutral. Bull/Bear Power shows intraday momentum leaning towards buyers, though current overbought signals raise the risk of a short-term reversal. Volatility is moderate, with divergence between bearish momentum and short-term bullish intraday signals.

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/ILS was exhibiting range-bound behavior with a neutral trend bias amid shifting technical signals and broader dollar liquidity dynamics. The current technical deterioration and persistent selling highlight an increased risk of a downside break, making the ₪2.9869 support a critical level to watch for any shift out of the prevailing consolidation range.
