Trade flows and capital inflows drive persistent USD demand in Uzbekistan

Bilateral trade between Uzbekistan and the United States reached US$905 million in the first nine months of 2026, according to Uzdaily, highlighting significant realized cross-border flows that directly impact demand for the US Dollar relative to the Som. Incoming capital from 78 active joint projects between the two countries, totaling $35 billion as reported by Uzbekistan’s Minister of Investment, Industry and Trade Laziz Kudratov after a working visit to Washington, further supports these transaction needs. These developments raise baseline liquidity and settlement requirements for USD in Uzbekistan’s economy, providing a steady backdrop for current price dynamics and reinforcing the case for sustained demand for the currency pair.

Upward price momentum persists despite oscillators signaling overbought risks

On the technical front, USD/UZS remains firmly above the MA-20, MA-50, and MA-200 on the hourly chart, with the Ichimoku Kijun at UZS11,989 functioning as immediate support. MACD and ADX both indicate sustained upward momentum, with intraday Bull/Bear Power readings confirming buyer dominance. The RSI is positioned in a neutral range, while both Stochastic RSI and CCI have entered overbought territory, presenting an increased risk of short-term pullbacks despite prevailing buy signals. The Awesome Oscillator also affirms the current upward trajectory, though divergence between momentum and overbought oscillators suggests caution amid possible volatility.

Upside favored as consolidation holds above key support bands

For the short term, USD/UZS is expected to consolidate between UZS11,981 and UZS12,109 over the next several sessions, reflecting a typical volatility band relative to current levels. Further upside is favored, with a bullish scenario developing if price breaks above the upper resistance. Downside risk appears limited as a bearish outcome would require a decisive move below immediate support at the Ichimoku Kijun level.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees positive structural drivers continuing to support USD/UZS. He notes that robust trade flows and large-scale joint projects sustain healthy baseline demand for the US Dollar in Uzbekistan. The technical setup aligns with this constructive bias, with momentum indicators favoring further upside and limited downside risk. Consolidation above key moving averages underpins the pair’s short-term resilience. "I expect USD/UZS to remain bid as trade and investment flows keep fundamentals strong, with buyers likely in control unless immediate support is broken."

Earlier, analysts noted that mixed technical signals and persistent resistance levels were keeping the outlook for USD/UZS uncertain. The current article strengthens that view by highlighting both sustained upward momentum and increased overbought risk, with a potential near-term pivot hinging on whether the pair can maintain support above UZS11,989.
