Buy signals clash with intraday weakness as resistance holds
On the hourly chart, USD/IRR is below both the MA-20 and MA-50 but remains well above the MA-200, highlighting near-term downside pressure but preserving longer-term support. The Ichimoku Kijun sits at IRR1,828,912 and serves as immediate resistance. The expected trading range for upcoming sessions spans from IRR1,801,421 as support to IRR1,824,078 as resistance. Among momentum indicators, RSI and Stochastic RSI are tilted toward a buy signal and show some overextension, while MACD, ADX, and CCI are neutral, emphasizing a lack of clear direction.

Neutral price range expected amid volatility risk
Over the short term, the most probable scenario is that USD/IRR moves sideways within the IRR1,801,421 to IRR1,824,078 range, reflecting typical volatility at current levels. There is a 39% chance of an upward move; a close above IRR1,828,912 would tilt momentum to the upside. Conversely, a break below IRR1,801,421 would open additional room for price declines beyond the current support.
Earlier, analysts noted that ongoing bullish momentum and sustained buying interest were underpinning an uptrend in USD/IRR. The current technical setup, however, points to a period of consolidation, making the IRR1,801,421 support level critical for gauging whether the pair will extend its decline or stabilize within the anticipated range.
