Highlights

USD/COP remains below key short- and long-term moving averages, indicating ongoing bearish pressure across most timeframes.
Technical indicators show positive momentum and renewed buying interest, even as intraday price action stays subdued near the session low.
Expected USD/COP range over the next two to three days is COL$3,169 to COL$3,221, with immediate resistance at COL$3,200 and a 71% probability of an upward move.

Mixed bullish signals as price navigates key support and resistance

USD/COP trades below the MA-20 at COL$3,199 and above the MA-50 at COL$3,181 on the H1 chart, while remaining well under the MA-200 at COL$3,401. The MA-50 acts as tentative medium-term support, with immediate resistance defined by the Ichimoku Kijun at COL$3,200. On the momentum side, MACD and ADX are both signaling buy, and RSI is at 58.96 with a buy indication. CCI also points to buy, while Stochastic RSI is oversold, highlighting renewed short-term interest after a recent pullback. Bull/Bear Power is overbought, suggesting buying may be stretched, and the Awesome Oscillator is neutral.

Upside breakout risk rises amid constrained volatility range

Over the coming two to three sessions, USD/COP is expected to fluctuate in a COL$3,169 to COL$3,221 volatility band relative to current levels. There is a 71% probability of an upward break, with a less likely downward scenario. Continuation of range-bound action would see the pair trading within these bounds unless a decisive breakout occurs above the immediate resistance or below established support.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees USD/COP in a period of consolidation, trading just below its short-term moving averages. He notes that momentum and sentiment signals suggest building upside interest, supported by buy indications from MACD, RSI, and CCI. However, lack of news and the overbought state of Bull/Bear Power hint at some caution. Breakout potential exists, but levels near COL$3,200 remain key. "Momentum is tilted upward, but I am watching for a clear move above resistance before turning more aggressive on USD/COP," says Karapetjanc.

Previously it was reported that USD/COP was exhibiting mixed momentum, with buyers facing persistent resistance and the broader trend remaining unresolved. The current technical setup adds a layer of short-term bullish momentum but highlights the importance of monitoring for a breakout above immediate resistance, which could set the stage for a more sustained directional move.
