Highlights

USD/UZS trades above short- and medium-term moving averages but remains under long-term resistance, indicating persistent bearish pressure.
Technical momentum indicators show continued bullish pressure without overbought excess, yet intraday seller activity keeps prices near session lows.
The five-day trading range is projected at UZS11,834 to UZS11,996 with a 60% chance of upward movement and likely consolidation near current levels.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that USD/UZS struggles below its 200-day average, which points to persistent long-term weakness. The current consolidation above short- and medium-term moving averages provides only modest support for bulls. He highlights the lack of fresh news, leaving sentiment muted and further questioning any bullish conviction. Kharitonov stresses that overbought intraday signals and mild downside pressure expose the pair to renewed selling. "Long-term risks dominate — and any break below UZS11,902 could accelerate losses for USD/UZS," argues Kharitonov.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees supportive technicals underpinning the bullish structure of USD/UZS in the near term. He points out that buyers are controlling momentum above key moving averages, with market breadth and indicator signals favoring further gains. Despite the absence of new macro triggers, Karapetjanc maintains that upward potential persists. "The setup suggests further growth is likely if UZS11,937 is cleared — the market offers opportunities for continuation trades here," Karapetjanc affirms.

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, observes a sideways consolidation in USD/UZS with support and resistance tightly defined. He views volatility as contained, with momentum indicators showing no clear extremes. Mehta notes that failure to reclaim the 200-day average may signal tactical range trades rather than trends. "A breakout above UZS11,937 could trigger upside, but fading rallies near resistance remains a tactical option," states Mehta.

Buyers retain short-term edge as indicators flag cautious optimism

USD/UZS is trading above both the 20-day (UZS11,890) and 50-day (UZS11,833) moving averages, suggesting buyers hold a short- and medium-term advantage. The pair remains below the 200-day moving average (UZS11,995), indicating lingering long-term bearish pressure. The near-term ceiling is at UZS11,937, while support sits at the recent low of UZS11,902. The Ichimoku Kijun (UZS11,901) offers additional support just below current levels. Momentum from MACD and ADX signals continued upward pressure. Both the CCI and RSI indicate bullish momentum but do not show clear overbought conditions. Stochastic RSI is neutral, and the BBP shows buyers dominating intraday sentiment, though its overbought reading calls for caution. Intraday volatility is 0.74%, and price action is holding near the session’s low, with mild pressure toward lower levels.

Earlier, analysts noted that downside risks had increased for US Dollar vs Uzbekistani So'm, with bearish pressure dominating the long-term outlook. The current technical landscape adds nuance by highlighting short- and medium-term buying interest, making the UZS11,937 resistance level a critical threshold for assessing any shift toward a sustained upward move.
