Central bank dollar injection offsets oil export collapse amid blockade

The Iranian central bank has injected up to $2 billion in US dollars into the public market, a direct intervention intended to stabilize the Iranian rial and improve access to hard currency, according to Iranintl. This action immediately increases foreign currency supply, which works to offset pressure from continued depreciation. Additionally, Iran's oil exports fell to zero in September due to a US naval blockade, as reported by Iranintl, significantly diminishing Iran's primary source of foreign revenue and further tightening US dollar availability in the market.

Strong buy momentum persists as major support levels hold

On the hourly chart, USD/IRR remains above the MA-20 at IRR1,750,692 and MA-50 at IRR1,744,183, while on the daily chart, it is well above the MA-200 at IRR1,354,041. The Ichimoku Kijun sits at IRR1,739,335, acting as immediate support. Momentum indicators confirm strong buying activity: MACD and ADX are both in buy configuration, RSI reads 60.88, Stochastic RSI signals a strong buy, and CCI also supports a buy posture. Bull/Bear Power is indicating overbought intraday, and the Awesome Oscillator is neutral, showing no clear directional conflict.

Sideways consolidation likely as resistance caps upside

Looking ahead to the next several sessions, USD/IRR is expected to consolidate within a range of IRR1,670,762 to IRR1,846,598. The baseline scenario envisions the price moving sideways near current levels amid subdued volatility. Should bullish momentum persist, a breakout above the upper band could trigger further gains past immediate resistance. Conversely, a drop below the Ichimoku Kijun support would open the door to sharper downside within the projected volatility band, though such a move appears very unlikely.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, analyst at Traders Union, sees decisive central bank action and external pressures shaping sentiment in USD/IRR. He believes that policy intervention with $2 billion in the market may limit downside for the rial in the short term, even as oil export disruptions intensify hard currency challenges. Technical momentum indicators remain constructive, supporting a moderately bullish posture. Karapetjanc states: “With greater dollar supply but tight external conditions, I expect the pair to stay bid above key supports and see further gains if momentum holds.”

Earlier, analysts noted that sustained technical momentum remained the central driver behind the bullish trend in USD/IRR. The current combination of central bank intervention and evolving supply dynamics introduces new volatility risks, making the potential for a breakout beyond the current consolidation range a key factor to monitor.
