Highlights

USD/COP maintains a bearish long-term structure, trading below critical moving averages and showing persistent downward pressure.
Momentum indicators are mixed, with strong daily bullish signals but modest trend strength and oversold oscillator readings hinting at near-term choppy action.
Anticipated trading range for the week is Col$3,727.00–Col$3,788.43, with downside risk toward Col$3,690–Col$3,700 and low probability of a sustained upward breakout.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees ongoing weakness for USD/COP both technically and sentimentally. The price sits below the MA-200 and under the MA-20, underscoring lack of bullish commitment. Mixed signals across MACD, ADX, and oscillators cast further doubt on bullish prospects. Short-term oversold technicals may trigger small bounces, but downside risks dominate. "With seller pressure persistent and no supportive news catalysts, I expect any rallies to fail quickly unless the pair reclaims 3,740 convincingly."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, notes that despite prevailing downside momentum, the fundamental and macro setup presents opportunity for tactical entries. He points to the neutral-to-bullish RSI zone and the potential for technical reversals from oversold levels. Karapetjanc remains confident that the market could rotate higher if buyers reclaim 3,740. "The bullish structure remains intact while the price stays above 3,693 — further growth could emerge if sentiment shifts even modestly."

Consolidation expected as mixed signals and seller bias persist

Momentum signals are mixed: while the MACD on the daily chart is strongly bullish, the ADX indicates only modest trend strength. The RSI is in neutral-buy territory, with the Stoch RSI showing oversold conditions and the CCI remaining neutral, reflecting an oversold bias that could prompt short-term buying interest, though BBP points to continued seller dominance. The price is moving near the daily low of Col$3,719.42 in a moderately volatile session, with pressure sustained after the open and diverging momentum signals suggesting a likely period of consolidation or choppy action.

Previously it was reported that USD/COP trades slightly above its 20- and 50-day moving averages, reflecting short- and medium-term buying interest, while remaining below the 200-day average, indicating longer-term resistance. Momentum indicators such as MACD and RSI signal ongoing bullishness, but overbought readings and intraday weakness near dynamic support levels suggest the current rally may be losing steam.
