Highlights

Rising U.S. Treasury yields since August 2026, driven by strong economic activity and Fed rate hikes, have strengthened the U.S. dollar globally.
Persistent energy supply disruptions further support dollar demand and maintain its broad strength against major currencies including the Thai baht.
USD/THB trades below short- and medium-term technical levels with bearish momentum indicators, and the price is projected to range from ฿33.2624 to ฿33.5966 with higher probability of further downside.

Global dollar demand rises as US yields climb on strong data

According to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, since early August 2026, U.S. Treasury markets have seen rising yields as a result of stronger economic activity, persistent energy-supply issues, and a series of rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. These dynamics intensify global demand for the U.S. dollar, contributing to its broad strength against major currencies, including the Thai baht. While this environment generally supports the U.S. dollar, today’s trading reflects broader market adjustment rather than a reaction to new corporate or regulatory events.

Bearish momentum persists as oversold signals clash with support

On the hourly chart, USD/THB is positioned below both the MA-20 at ฿33.5779 and MA-50 at ฿33.6753, but remains above the long-term MA-200 at ฿33.0145. The Ichimoku Kijun sits at ฿33.5823 and serves as immediate resistance. Momentum signals remain bearish, with both MACD and ADX indicating a sell bias. The RSI, Stoch RSI, and CCI are presently in oversold zones, suggesting potential exhaustion of short-term selling and raising the likelihood of a temporary rebound attempt, even as downside momentum persists. Bull/Bear Power is negative, evidencing intraday seller dominance, while low volatility reinforces a weak intraday tone. However, the combination of oversold oscillators and ongoing downside pressure leaves the technical picture partially conflicted.

Downside risk prevails as range limits recovery scenarios

In the short term, USD/THB is expected to remain within a trading range of ฿33.2624 to ฿33.5966, reflecting typical volatility relative to current levels. A baseline scenario would see prices consolidating near recent lows as sentiment stabilizes. Should the pair overcome the Ichimoku Kijun resistance, a limited recovery could follow; conversely, a break below the lower boundary may lead to an extension of the decline. The probability of a downside move currently outweighs recovery prospects for the upcoming sessions.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, believes the recent declines in USD/THB reflect both macro forces and oversold technicals. He sees robust U.S. economic data and Treasury yield gains maintaining support for the dollar, with cross-border flows likely to prevent any sharp reversal in the pair. However, short-term selling may be nearing exhaustion as seen in momentum oscillators, suggesting a rebound attempt is feasible. Overall, the analyst remains constructive but expects rangebound price action near recent lows. "I expect USD/THB to stay within range for now, but if global dollar demand holds up, a recovery above the immediate resistance could follow quickly."

Earlier, analysts noted that the US Dollar vs Thai Baht faced short-term downside risks despite maintaining a longer-term bullish structure. The current technical setup, featuring persistent downside momentum alongside signals of potential selling exhaustion, suggests that traders should closely monitor whether USD/THB can establish support above the ฿33.2624 level in the coming sessions.
