PKR demand increases on interbank volumes and cross-border settlements

The interbank market recorded a 0.98 paisa appreciation of the Pakistani rupee against the UAE dirham, with the rate settling at PKR 75.35 per dirham, according to Mettisglobal.

Intraday buyer strength builds as price nears technical upper bounds

On the h1 chart, AED/PKR is holding above both the MA-20 at PKR75.3853 and the MA-50 at PKR75.336, while remaining below the MA-200 at PKR75.712. The Ichimoku Kijun provides immediate support at PKR75.525. Momentum indicators show strong intraday buying interest: MACD and ADX signal a buy, the RSI is elevated at 89.6917 and points to overbought conditions, with Stoch RSI and CCI also confirming overbought status. Bull/Bear Power reveals intraday buyer dominance, and the Awesome Oscillator is aligned with the prevailing upward trend.

Sideways bias anticipated unless breakout levels are breached

In the short term, AED/PKR is expected to trade between PKR75.3209 and PKR76.0779, encompassing the typical volatility band relative to current levels. The primary scenario envisions a sideways consolidation within this range, with a high probability of continued upward bias. A move above PKR76.0779 would signal a bullish breakout, whereas a sustained drop below the Ichimoku Kijun at PKR75.525 would open the way to further downside.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees the recent AED/PKR action as a healthy sign for the rupee. He notes that transactional flows support persistent PKR demand, with technicals confirming sustained intraday buying interest. Macro sentiment remains constructive while the range between PKR75.3209 and PKR76.0779 defines the short-term tactical landscape. Karapetjanc believes further upside is favored as long as support at PKR75.525 holds. "I expect PKR demand to remain steady, as solid payment flows and positive momentum provide a strong tactical foundation for the pair."

Earlier, analysts noted that AED/PKR displayed mixed technical momentum, with short-term buyer activity constrained by lingering long-term bearish signals. Recent developments underscore persistent upward bias as the pair maintains stability above its key short- and medium-term moving averages, positioning PKR75.525 as a crucial support level to watch for potential shifts in trend.
