Highlights

USD/KRW declined to ₩1,435.02, trading below MA-20 (₩1,452.05) and MA-50 (₩1,453.92), but remains above MA-200 support at ₩1,431.03.
Technical indicators are mixed: MACD D1 signals strong buying, while intraday Stoch RSI and CCI show oversold conditions and D1 RSI is bearish at 42.55.
High probability of price consolidation near current levels, with a five-day range forecast between ₩1,449.77 and ₩1,453.67 unless support at ₩1,431.03 breaks.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that USD’s drop below both MA-20 and MA-50 signals clear short-term selling pressure. He highlights weak intraday sentiment and the lack of supportive news as red flags for a rebound. Mixed indicator signals and a daily RSI below 50 suggest a fragile structure. Downside risks increase if the price fails to hold above the MA-200 at ₩1,431.03. "Given the absence of fundamental catalysts and prevailing bearish sentiment, I would remain extremely cautious about any optimistic forecast for USD/KRW this week."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees a healthy longer-term technical foundation for the USD against the Korean Won. He points out that the pair is holding above the MA-200 and that major weekly indicators suggest bullish momentum. Strong buying interest on daily MACD supports further price appreciation. Karapetjanc believes the current dip presents upside opportunity for buyers seeking trend continuation. "With bullish structure still intact and volatility contained, I expect the market to offer attractive long setups above ₩1,451.00 this week."

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, observes oscillating momentum in USD/KRW as technical signals point both ways. He sees oversold intraday levels suggesting potential for a short-term bounce. However, resistance near the Ichimoku Kijun at ₩1,451.00 may cap any swift recovery attempts. For Turakhiya, strategic positioning around the MA-200 at ₩1,431.03 is key for risk control. "If buyers can reclaim key resistance, we might see quick gains — otherwise, range trading is likely in the near term."

Mixed buy signals as technical momentum and boundaries diverge

Momentum readings for USD are mixed, with MACD on the daily chart showing strong buying interest, while the ADX reflects weak trend strength. Intraday Stoch RSI and CCI readings indicate oversold conditions, although the daily RSI remains bearish at 42.55. The BBP hints at an overbought market, but intraday oscillators now show seller dominance. Divergences between intraday softness and underlying bullish momentum can be seen, and the Ichimoku Kijun sits near ₩1,451.00 as a key resistance, with support clustering near the MA-200 at ₩1,431.03.

Previously it was reported that USD/KRW is trading below its short- and medium-term moving averages but remains above the MA-200, indicating persistent short-term selling pressure while the longer-term uptrend is intact. Momentum indicators are mixed, with weakening buyer dominance and mild oversold signals, as price action consolidates between support at the MA-200 and resistance near the Ichimoku Kijun.
