Highlights

Treasury yields are falling after U.S. Q4 GDP growth was revised down to a modest 0.7% annual rate.
A widening federal deficit has forced the Treasury to increase auction sizes, meeting market demands for higher yields.
USD/COP faces persistent bearish technical pressure with likely sideways movement between COL$3,680 and COL$3,740 as sellers maintain control.

Bond demand rises as downgraded US GDP and deficit widen

Treasury yields have moved lower after the fourth-quarter U.S. gross domestic product was revised down to an annual rate of 0.7%. The federal deficit has widened, prompting the Treasury Department to increase auction sizes as the market demands higher yields. An oil 'war premium' is also driving preference for cash and short-term instruments over long-term government bonds.

Bullish MACD diverges from oversold oscillators as momentum splits

Momentum signals are mixed: the D1 MACD points to strong bullish momentum, but the ADX remains neutral, suggesting any trend is weak. The RSI sits in a bearish zone at 41.58, while both Stoch RSI and BBP are deeply oversold, and CCI confirms selling intensity. The BBP's significantly negative value indicates sellers are firmly in control of intraday momentum. The Awesome Oscillator is neutral and does not reinforce the current movement. Today’s price action saw a small upward gap at the open, finishing near the upper end of the intraday range, with a daily gain of 0.57%, reflecting moderate volatility and signs of strength toward the session highs. Momentum and oscillator signals diverge, with oversold readings conflicting with the MACD’s bullish call, highlighting potential short-term instability.

Sideways range likely as downside risk outweighs rebound potential

For the coming five sessions, the most likely range is COL$3,680 – COL$3,740, adjusted to remain consistent with current market conditions and past weekly volatility. The probability of a price increase is very low (less than 20%), making further declines much more likely. In the baseline scenario, USD/COP moves sideways between COL$3,680 and COL$3,740. A bullish breakout above the immediate resistance at COL$3,737 would challenge upper levels and potentially reverse short-term momentum, while a drop below COL$3,680 could trigger a deeper sell-off as sellers maintain control.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, macro and fundamental analyst at Traders Union, sees USD/COP under sustained selling pressure, with only modest medium-term support. He believes that bearish sentiment is reinforced by softer US growth, rising Treasury supply, and safe-haven demand for cash. Technical momentum remains conflicted, but macro headwinds keep the probability of a sustained rebound low. The analyst expects a sideways-to-lower move in the COL$3,680 – COL$3,740 range. "With sellers dominating and macro risks elevated, my outlook stays cautiously constructive for further downside as long as resistance holds," he says.

In a recent review, analysts noted that USD/COP was facing persistent bearish pressure with mixed momentum, leading to heightened short-term uncertainty. The current technical setup and fundamental backdrop confirm ongoing downside risks, making the sustainability of support above COL$3,680 a critical focus for traders in the week ahead.
