Highlights

USD/UZS trades above short- and medium-term moving averages but remains in a longer-term bearish trend.
Technical indicators display mixed signals with overbought conditions and overall weak trend momentum.
For the next 5 days, the expected range is UZS11,819 to UZS11,967 with a 60% probability of an upward move.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that the USD/UZS pair’s current climb is mainly driven by technical factors, as fundamental news is absent. He sees the pair’s inability to break above the 200-day moving average as a key sign of continued long-term weakness. Current signals are mixed and momentum remains fragile, with indicators flagging overbought risks. Kharitonov highlights that volatility could quickly reverse gains and any bullish scenario looks vulnerable. "I remain cautious and advise traders to be defensive, as technical overextension may soon expose downside risks for USD/UZS."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, believes the USD/UZS market structure favors bulls in the near term. He highlights that price stability above the 20- and 50-day moving averages supports a constructive outlook. Despite the lack of fundamental news flow, he sees opportunity in the technical setup and potential for further gains. Karapetjanc is confident that buyers remain in control and expects upward momentum to resume. "The bullish structure remains intact and I see further growth likely if USD/UZS can sustain above UZS11,891 in the coming days."

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, sees short-term trading opportunities as mixed signals drive sentiment in USD/UZS. He notes volatility remains attractive for tactical setups between UZS11,819 and UZS11,967. Overbought readings suggest any upside may be limited, but intraday buyers are still active. Turakhiya points out that risk is present on both sides of the range. "In this environment, I favor nimble positioning to capture sentiment-driven moves while managing stops around key support and resistance."

Bullish setup tested as overbought signals meet mixed momentum

USD/UZS trades above both its 20-day (UZS11,802) and 50-day (UZS11,811) moving averages but remains below the 200-day (UZS12,007), indicating short- and medium-term bullish bias within a still-bearish longer trend. The nearest resistance is at UZS11,967, with initial support aligning to the near-term floor at UZS11,891. Momentum signals are mixed: the MACD points to strong downside, while the ADX remains low at 9.2, marking a neutral environment. Overbought conditions are flagged by an RSI of 56.15, Stochastic RSI at 100, and CCI at 83.89. Bull/Bear Power also signals buyers dominating intraday, with price action near session highs and 0.64% intraday volatility. The tone remains strong but mixed signals call for caution around overextension.

In a recent review, analysts highlighted that near-term USD/UZS gains were supported by reserve weakness, despite an overall bearish long-term outlook. The current analysis reinforces this cautious stance, suggesting traders monitor the UZS11,967 resistance as a potential trigger for renewed volatility in the days ahead.
