Highlights

USD/COP remains under sustained selling pressure, trading below all major short and long-term trend indicators.
Technical momentum is weak, with most oscillators pointing toward a bearish bias and persistent oversold conditions.
Price is likely to move sideways within $3,680.97–$3,742.47, with less than a 20% probability of a rebound.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, believes USD/COP remains under meaningful selling pressure. He notes the price is entrenched below all major averages, with technical signals overall confirming control by sellers. Kharitonov points out that despite a bullish MACD impulse, bearish momentum dominates and there is little sign of a sustainable rebound. Absence of impactful news flow does not help sentiment and likely reinforces the lack of upward catalysts. "With the price anchored below key moving averages and technicals aligned against any recovery, I see persistent downside risk for USD/COP in the near term," he says.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees market structure as offering opportunity despite current weakness. He notes the technical setup presents a broad volatility band, suggesting potential for a sharp directional move if resistance at $3,737.21 is reclaimed. Karapetjanc highlights that strong intraday momentum can quickly shift sentiment and establish bullish footing. "Should the pair break decisively above $3,737.21, I expect bullish momentum to return and offer new setups for gains," he says.

Support tests persist as sellers pressure amid mixed momentum

The USD/COP pair is now trading at $3,683.95, sitting below the SMA-20 ($3,741.57) and well under the SMA-200 ($3,801.05), indicating that sellers are maintaining control across both the short and long term. The price is just below the SMA-50 ($3,693.80), offering some dynamic resistance, with the nearest support indicated by the Ichimoku Kijun at $3,737.21. Momentum signals on the daily chart remain mixed. The MACD shows a strong bullish impulse, while ADX signals only modest trend strength. Both RSI and CCI remain in bearish territory, and Stoch RSI points to persistent oversold conditions, suggesting underlying weakness. BBP currently highlights a bearish intraday tone, with sellers dominating short-term flows. There was no significant gap as today’s open was close to yesterday’s close, and the price now trades near today’s low in a day marked by moderate volatility. The session's bias has been downward, aligning with neutral or negative oscillators, though MACD’s divergence introduces uncertainty for any immediate rebound.

Last time, analysts noted that USD/COP is trading below key short-, medium-, and long-term moving averages, with persistent bearish momentum underscored by mixed signals from momentum indicators—MACD showing bullish divergence while RSI, ADX, and Stoch RSI reflect modest to mild bearish sentiment. Immediate resistance is seen at the Ichimoku Kijun level, and the pair is expected to remain rangebound with limited upside risk and heightened potential for downside tests should bearish momentum persist.
