Highlights

USD/ILS is trading in a bullish trend above key short-, medium-, and long-term moving averages.
Momentum indicators such as MACD and ADX remain positive, with buyers dominating intraday price action.
For the next week, the projected range is ₪3.1446 to ₪3.2248, with a 75% probability of an upward move.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that USD/ILS saw a technical-driven move higher, but maintains caution regarding its sustainability. Despite strong support from all moving averages and bullish momentum readings, he highlights that the lack of news flow raises concerns about the stability of current sentiment. Kharitonov points to the divergence from the Hull Moving Average and finds the sideways baseline scenario plausible. He reminds traders that intraday volatility of 0.63% suggests potential for quick reversals. "Without macro or fundamental triggers, I see bulls vulnerable to a pullback if short-term support at ₪3.1664 fails," Kharitonov warns.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees a robust bullish structure in USD/ILS, driven by technical alignment across all major moving averages. He emphasizes that upward momentum remains firm and buyers are in control, with 75% probability of further gains. Despite the absence of news, the constructive market setup offers multiple opportunities for further growth above ₪3.2234. He believes current conditions are favorable for momentum trading. "With positive momentum signals intact, I expect the market to reward breakout buyers in the coming sessions," Karapetjanc states.

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, observes that buyers dominate the short-term action as USD/ILS pushes toward its highs. He notes that most sentiment and technical indicators support intraday strength, yet neutral oscillators suggest limited conviction for an aggressive move. Turakhiya highlights the potential for quick range-based setups given the current volatility band. "Active traders should watch for breakouts near ₪3.2234 but also be ready for swift reversals toward ₪3.1446," Turakhiya suggests.

Buying bias prevails as technical signals confirm bullish alignment

USD/ILS is trading above the 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages (₪3.1296, ₪3.0848, and ₪3.0152), confirming bullish short-, medium-, and long-term trends. The near-term ceiling is set at ₪3.2234, while immediate support is found at the near-term floor of ₪3.1664, with the overall structure supported by a bullish alignment between the 50-day and 200-day averages. Momentum remains positive as the MACD and Average Directional Index (ADX) both signal a buy, reflecting a firm directional bias. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), Stochastic RSI, and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) are each in neutral zones. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) is positive, indicating buyers dominate intraday. Intraday volatility stands at 0.63%. Price action signals intraday strength as buyers push the pair toward highs, confirmed by momentum readings. There is a divergence with the Hull Moving Average signaling a sell, but other momentum indicators remain firmly bullish.

Earlier, analysts noted that the outlook for USD/ILS was clouded by rising geopolitical risks and uncertainty around external policy factors, with technicals showing mixed momentum signals. The current data supports a more bullish bias driven by strong upward momentum, making the upcoming test of the ₪3.2234 resistance a critical level to watch for potential follow-through or reversal.
