Breakout probability rises as narrow range consolidation expected
Looking ahead, USD/IRR is expected to trade in a band between IRR1,876,092 and IRR1,898,692 over the coming sessions. The baseline view calls for consolidation within this range, reflecting typical volatility relative to current pricing. There is a 76% probability of an upside breakout attempt, while a move below support near the Ichimoku Kijun would shift risk to the downside, now considered less likely at a 24% probability.
