Market benchmark reset prompts institutional repositioning and liquidity shifts

The Tasa Representativa del Mercado (TRM) for October 29, 2026 set the US Dollar vs Colombian Peso rate at 3,162.35, representing a confirmed official adjustment in the market benchmark, according to Elcomercio. This action by the market regulator determines daily settlement rates and can affect short-term liquidity and pricing decisions for institutions transacting in US dollars and Colombian pesos. The benchmark update typically prompts recalibration in financial operations and hedging activity across local forex desks.

Divergent technical signals underscored by mixed momentum and intraday selling

On the technical front, USD/COP currently trades above both the MA-20 at COL$3,172 and MA-50 at COL$3,168, while remaining below the MA-200 at COL$3,403 on the daily timeframe. The Ichimoku Kijun at COL$3,172 serves as immediate support. Momentum readings are mixed: MACD issues a strong buy, ADX gives a buy signal, but RSI stands at 47.07 and is joined by CCI (Sell) and Stochastic RSI (Oversold) in flagging weak or oversold conditions. Bull/Bear Power also shows an oversold reading, indicating intraday seller dominance, with the Awesome Oscillator registering as neutral.

Bullish bias likely as resistance and support define narrow range

Looking forward to the next two to three trading days, USD/COP is expected to remain within a typical volatility band of COL$3,167 to COL$3,213. With the probability of further upward movement rated very high and downside probability assessed as very low, the baseline outlook is for sideways action inside this corridor. A decisive break above resistance would open a bullish scenario, while a close beneath immediate support could prompt additional weakness.

Anton Kharitonov, analyst at Traders Union, sees USD/COP trading in a technically uncertain state after the official TRM set a new benchmark at COL$3,162.35. The pair floats above short- and medium-term moving averages but lacks decisive upside, with mixed momentum signals suggesting sellers still hold sway intraday. He believes that unless USD/COP breaks above COL$3,213 or below COL$3,167, neutral tactical positioning is warranted. "There is no strong directional signal at present — I remain defensive and wait for a clear breakout before committing new capital."

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/COP was under persistent bearish pressure amid negative technical readings and seller dominance. The current analysis signals a shift in technical structure, suggesting traders should watch for potential bullish momentum if the pair sustains levels above its short- and medium-term averages in the coming sessions.
