Highlights

USD/PLN remains in a bullish trend across short-, medium-, and long-term technical signals with price holding above key averages.
Momentum indicators such as MACD, ADX, and Awesome Oscillator confirm upward strength, but overbought conditions are flagged by oscillators including RSI and CCI.
Projected five-day range is zł3.8949 to zł3.9571, with a high probability of an upward move and minor downside risk.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that USD/PLN's retreat, despite strong trend alignment above key moving averages, highlights a vulnerable technical posture. With indicators like RSI and Stochastic RSI flashing overbought, he sees unsustainable momentum and potential for short-term reversal even with longer-term structure intact. The absence of relevant news reduces confidence in a lasting bullish scenario. He warns of downside pressure near zł3.9081, suggesting that a break below this could signal trend deterioration. "Caution is warranted here — the overextended rally lacks fresh support and faces real risk of correction," Kharitonov says.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees the bullish structure in USD/PLN as solidly supported by strength above major moving averages. He notes that technical setups, reinforced by ADX and MACD buy signals, offer several opportunities for further growth in the coming sessions. Even without fresh news or macro shocks, he expects upward momentum to persist and volatility to create advantageous entry points. "With momentum holding strong and the baseline trend intact, I expect USD/PLN to push toward zł3.9571 sooner than bears anticipate," Karapetjanc concludes.

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, observes that despite a slight pullback today, underlying momentum in USD/PLN remains constructive as buyers dominate intraday flows. He stresses the overbought signals from oscillators, suggesting volatility could drive rapid short-term swings. With price hovering near key support and resistance, he sees tactical setups for both breakout and mean-reversion traders. "Short-term players should stay nimble — a quick move outside zł3.9081 or zł3.9284 could unlock fresh sentiment-driven opportunities," Turakhiya advises.

Bullish momentum persists despite overbought signals and flat opening

USD/PLN trades above its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages at zł3.9081, zł3.8396, and zł3.7321 respectively, reinforcing bullish momentum across short-, medium-, and long-term trends. The near-term ceiling aligns with today's low at zł3.9284, while support is established near the 20-day moving average at zł3.9081. The longer-term trend remains bullish as indicated by the MA-50 versus MA-200 alignment. Momentum in the pair remains strong, with both the MACD and ADX signaling buy, though overbought conditions are highlighted by the RSI, Stochastic RSI, and CCI. Bull/Bear Power suggests intraday dominance by buyers, but oscillators indicate an overbought environment, reflecting caution. The Awesome Oscillator supports the current upward trend. Despite a slip of zł0.0197 or 0.5% today, the asset opened nearly flat and trades near the session low, with intraday volatility at 0.69%. The short-term tone points to downside pressure after the open, diverging from some momentum signals.

Earlier, analysts noted a shift in USD/PLN dynamics highlighting rising downside risks amid increasing selling momentum. The current outlook introduces a contrasting scenario, with technical strength now favoring bulls and placing emphasis on a likely move toward the upper end of the short-term trading range if upward momentum persists.
