Highlights

USD/PLN trades below the 20-day average but holds above the 50-day and 200-day averages, signaling short-term weakness within medium- and long-term support.
Technical indicators are mixed, with buy signals from MACD and ADX, neutral readings from oscillators, and intraday buyer dominance amid cautious momentum.
USD/PLN is forecast to move between zł3.8815 and zł3.9469 over the next five sessions, with an over 80% probability of an upward move.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that USD/PLN lost ground today with sellers regaining short-term control, as shown by the price trading below the 20-day average. He points to persistent short-term weakness but cautions that the pair remains comfortably above the 50- and 200-day moving averages, so medium- and long-term trend support is not challenged yet. Kharitonov finds MACD and ADX are not aligning with recent downside, which suggests mixed market conviction. News flows are absent, removing any positive catalyst and contributing to instability in sentiment. "Unless buyers reclaim zł3.9144 soon, I see further downside risks — patience here is crucial."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees the bullish structure in USD/PLN as intact, supported by the pair holding key medium- and long-term levels. He highlights persistent buy signals from MACD and ADX, which suggest robust underlying momentum despite a short-term dip. Karapetjanc believes the high-probability scenario remains upward within the projected band, offering attractive setups if resistance at zł3.9144 is breached. He remains confident that buyers will find opportunity if volatility expands. "I expect further growth soon — a close above zł3.9144 could unleash significant upside within the established range."

Sholanke Dele, market strategist, takes a cautious view on USD/PLN given the absence of market-moving news and today’s downward bias. She sees sentiment as subdued, with neutral momentum indicators and intraday sellers setting the tone. Dele warns that the lack of external triggers may leave the pair drifting sideways or lower. "Without fresh catalysts, upside looks fragile and both risk and opportunity remain limited for now."

Support holds on longer timeframes as intraday bullish signals emerge

USD/PLN is trading below the 20-day moving average at zł3.9201, but above both the 50-day at zł3.8742 and 200-day at zł3.7412. This setup shows short-term weakness while maintaining broader support on medium- and long-term timeframes. The immediate ceiling stands at zł3.9144 and the floor at zł3.8925, with the Ichimoku Kijun at zł3.9242 acting as resistance. Momentum indicators are broadly supportive: MACD and ADX point to a buy bias, though the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Stochastic RSI, and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) remain neutral, suggesting the pair is neither overbought nor oversold. Bull/Bear Power signals buyers are dominating intraday momentum, while the Awesome Oscillator is neutral. Daily momentum aligns with today’s moderate downside and supports a cautious, seller-driven tone.

Earlier, analysts noted that selling momentum had taken hold in USD/PLN as regional rate dynamics increased downside risks for the pair. The current analysis refines this view, highlighting that while short-term weakness persists, traders should closely monitor the zł3.8925 level as a potential inflection point for further directional moves.
