Private debt pullback and policy shift dampen euro inflows
Bangladesh's private-sector external debt fell by over 23% from its 2022 peak to $19.94 billion by July 2026, as businesses curtailed foreign borrowing in response to rising global interest rates, a weakening taka, and increased foreign-exchange pressure, according to Tbsnews. This adjustment reduces reliance on external funding and could dampen foreign capital inflows, affecting liquidity in the Euro vs Bangladeshi Taka market. Meanwhile, the shift to SOFR-linked financing has raised the cost of new foreign loans, discouraging dollar- and euro-denominated debt issuance. On October 4, Bangladesh's finance minister announced plans to focus on domestic capital markets for financing instead of further IMF or World Bank loans, signaling continued pressure on market sentiment.
Bearish signals dominate with resistance halting short-term recovery
Technically, EUR/BDT is trading below the MA-20 at BDT138.053, MA-50 at BDT138.389, and MA-200 at BDT142.185, with the Ichimoku Kijun at BDT138.022 acting as the immediate resistance level. Momentum indicators show a broadly bearish setup, as both MACD and ADX point to ongoing selling momentum. RSI and CCI are in the Sell zone, while Stochastic RSI indicates Overbought conditions, resulting in a mixed short-term picture. Bull/Bear Power reflects some intraday buyer activity, but the Awesome Oscillator remains neutral and does not reinforce a clear trend.
Range-bound movement expected amid downside risk and key levels
Over the next two to three trading days, EUR/BDT is expected to fluctuate within the BDT137.265 to BDT138.645 range, representing a typical volatility band relative to current levels. There is a 76% probability of the pair moving lower and only a 24% chance of an upside breakout. The primary scenario points to consolidation within this range, but a decisive break above the Ichimoku Kijun or below near-term support would likely set the next trend direction.
