Accelerated lira weakening as central bank shifts policy stance

Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye (CBRT) Governor Fatih Karahan has confirmed that policymakers are now allowing a more rapid depreciation of the Turkish lira, a shift which directly impacts expectations for the Euro vs Turkish Lira exchange rate. According to FXStreet, this controlled approach—alongside foreign exchange interventions by the CBRT and state-owned banks—has helped establish an annualized depreciation path of about 20%, reducing the risk of abrupt currency shocks. Persistently high inflation between 30–35% and recent CBRT rate cuts further erode the lira's real yield appeal, shaping the demand dynamics for the pair.

Overbought signals emerge as buyers test momentum boundaries

The technical landscape is defined by EUR/TRY holding above the MA-20 at ₺55.5073 and MA-50 at ₺55.3556 on the H1 timeframe, with long-term support evident from the MA-200 at ₺53.6581. The Ichimoku Kijun level of ₺55.4965 marks a strong support area. Indicators present a robust momentum profile: MACD and ADX remain on Buy signals, while RSI sits at an elevated 69.03, reflecting strong buying bias; CCI signals overbought, and Stochastic RSI is Neutral, indicating a divergence as price tests higher levels. Bull/Bear Power is positioned in favor of buyers, and the Awesome Oscillator confirms upward pressure, though stretched oscillators suggest the pair is testing the limits of recent advances.

Range-bound outlook persists as volatility remains restrained

In the short-term, EUR/TRY is likely to consolidate within a projected range of ₺55.4502 to ₺56.0074, with very limited probability of a bearish reversal. The baseline scenario is for the pair to remain range-bound as volatility stays contained. Upside momentum could drive a move toward the upper bound if resistance is breached, while any correction would likely be capped by firm support at the lower end of the current volatility band.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees the CBRT’s new stance as a clear macro signal for ongoing lira weakness. He notes that official tolerance for faster depreciation, coupled with high inflation and recent rate cuts, keeps sentiment decisively tilted against the TRY. Technical and fundamental factors support a continued EUR/TRY uptrend, with strong buying momentum and little chance of a swift reversal. Karapetjanc believes this environment favors euro bulls in the short term. "As long as official policy supports depreciation and the inflation outlook remains challenging, I expect EUR/TRY to sustain upside pressure within its current range."

Earlier, analysts noted that EUR/TRY was experiencing short-term consolidation underpinned by lira stability and a balanced central bank policy, with downside risks highlighted if key technical support levels gave way. The current analysis adds a new dimension by emphasizing the impact of an official shift toward a controlled lira depreciation, making sustained price action above the MA-20 and MA-50 a key support scenario to watch for further directional momentum.
