The government sold an additional 6,500 million rupees in treasury bills at 9.95%, taking total weekly sales to 85.562 billion rupees.
AUD/LKR remains below key moving averages with bearish momentum dominating, as price trades in a LKR224.28 to LKR226.54 range and further downside likely in the short term.

Policy measures and treasury sales reinforce rupee’s near-term resilience

Sri Lanka's President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has announced a set of measures designed to boost industrial output, exports, and investment through the new 2027 budget, according to Bloomberg. This initiative is intended to bolster Sri Lanka's economic recovery and lay the groundwork for stronger long-term growth, potentially affecting the Sri Lankan Rupee's trajectory as policy impacts are realized. In parallel, the government completed an additional sale of 6,500 million rupees of treasury bills at a 9.95 percent rate this week, expanding weekly sales to a total of 85.562 billion rupees and reinforcing fiscal liquidity conditions.

Bearish momentum dominates as technical boundaries constrain rebound odds

AUD/LKR trades below the MA-20 at LKR226.16, the MA-50 at LKR227.46, and the MA-200 at LKR232.3 on the daily chart. The nearest technical resistance is found at the Ichimoku Kijun level near LKR226.31. Momentum indicators present a weak outlook, as MACD and ADX both signal a bearish backdrop. RSI remains neutral, while Stochastic RSI and CCI are in oversold territory, indicating possible—but not assured—potential for a rebound. Bull/Bear Power shows sellers dominating intraday action, and the Awesome Oscillator is consistent with the prevailing downtrend.

High downside risk persists as price stuck below resistance

Over the next two to three trading days, the expected price range for AUD/LKR is LKR224.28 to LKR226.54, reflecting typical volatility bands relative to current levels. The probability of further downside remains very high, while chances of a near-term rebound are low unless the price can decisively clear the nearest resistance. The baseline scenario is sideways price action within the stated corridor; a bullish breakout would require a close above resistance, while a deeper decline would be triggered by a move below support.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees AUD/LKR under persistent pressure below its main moving averages. He notes limited support from technical indicators, with sellers dominating and only oversold readings hinting at a short-term pause. Recent Sri Lankan policy measures signal a longer-term support for the Rupee, but immediate market impact is muted as caution prevails. "Until LKR226.31 is reclaimed, I consider this a weak market and will look for lower prices within the range."

Earlier, analysts noted that bearish momentum and persistent selling pressure were weighing on the Australian Dollar against the Sri Lankan Rupee. The current technical setup reaffirms this negative bias, with traders advised to monitor price action near the lower end of the projected LKR224.28–LKR226.54 range for signs of a potential breakdown or reversal.
