Highlights

USD/UZS trades above short-term moving averages but remains under key medium- and long-term trend levels.
Technical indicators show mixed signals with strong recent buying, but momentum oscillators suggest a weak or overbought trend.
The near-term range is projected at UZS11,791 to UZS11,920, with a 65% probability of a downward move and 35% for upward.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that USD/UZS shows only short-lived momentum as technical resistance remains strong. He sees persistent bearish pressure on medium- and long-term charts, with current moves largely driven by intraday dynamics and not backed by any fundamental or news catalysts. Kharitonov highlights negative signals from momentum oscillators and finds that buyers’ efforts above the 20-day moving average look fragile. The lack of supportive newsflow adds uncertainty to the recovery attempt. "Traders should remain cautious unless USD/UZS can sustain a breakthrough above key moving averages — the downside risk is still dominant in this pair."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees opportunity in the USD/UZS setup. He is constructive on near-term prospects given the pair’s push above its 20-day average and buyers’ dominance on Bull/Bear Power, seeing this as a potential signal of renewed demand. Despite the absence of fresh news or macro developments, Karapetjanc believes the technical structure allows for breakthroughs and further upside in line with recent intraday strength. "The bullish structure remains intact here — any close above UZS11,874 could open up further growth in coming sessions."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, views the setup as technically volatile with a mixed directional bias. He notes the divergence between intraday strength and momentum indicators, making breakout trades near current highs tactically interesting. Mehta sees potential for either a quick move up toward UZS11,920 or a fast pullback if support breaks. "With weak trend signals and choppy momentum, I see contrarian opportunities both above UZS11,874 and below UZS11,791 for agile traders."

Mixed momentum signals as short-term strength faces longer-term resistance

USD/UZS is trading above its 20-day moving average (UZS11,789) but remains slightly below the 50-day (UZS11,874) and well under the 200-day (UZS12,044) averages, suggesting continued short-term strength amid a broadly bearish medium- and long-term backdrop. The Ichimoku Kijun at UZS11,809 acts as a support, while the near-term ceiling stands at UZS11,874 and the immediate floor at UZS11,852. Momentum indicators present mixed signals: the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) points to strong selling, and the Average Directional Index (ADX) remains neutral, indicating a weak trend. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is moderately low with a sell forecast, while Stochastic RSI and Bull/Bear Power (BBP) both flag overbought conditions, with BBP indicating buyers are currently dominant. The pair opened nearly flat and moved up UZS58.99 (0.5%), now trading near the session high. Intraday volatility stands at 0.78%. The bias is for strength toward the highs, despite some divergence between the momentum oscillators and strong intraday activity.

Earlier, analysts noted that the USD/UZS was entrenched in a bearish trend, with technical conditions favoring continued downside for the pair. The current analysis introduces a new dynamic, as short-term buying has tempered the negative momentum and traders should watch for a sustained move above UZS11,874 as a potential signal of a broader trend shift.
