Highlights

USD/ILS remains under short- and long-term bearish pressure, trading consistently below major moving average levels.
Mixed daily and intraday momentum indicators reveal oversold conditions and persistent downward pressure despite some bullish signals on higher timeframes.
The pair is forecast to trade in a ₪3.0746–₪3.0807 range next week, with a downside break more likely than a reversal.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, views USD/ILS as locked in a persistent downtrend with daily and intraday signals both vulnerable. He notes the absence of news removes any catalyst for buyers and highlights that price action remains well below all primary SMAs. Kharitonov points out rising divergence across indicators, which increases the likelihood of whipsaw moves for traders. He cautions that technicals do not favor any sustainable rebound, especially as the weekly low is at risk. "Given these conditions, traders should stay defensive and avoid catching falling knives until genuine bullish confirmation appears."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, maintains a constructive outlook for USD/ILS despite recent declines. He sees current oversold oscillators and intraday volatility as offering tactical opportunities for nimble bulls. The expert emphasizes that a decisive move above the Ichimoku Kijun near ₪3.1095 could quickly revive buying interest and push towards the SMA-20. Karapetjanc is confident that structural setups can reassert bullish momentum, especially if selling exhausts near key support. "The market’s oversold reading offers multiple setups for a rebound — I expect further growth if we reclaim short-term resistance."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, believes USD/ILS is primed for rangebound action as mixed momentum signals create a tactical gray zone. He sees divergence between daily and intraday charts suggesting heightened volatility. Mehta suggests monitoring for contrarian bounces if oversold signals intensify. "A potential tactical opportunity could arise if sharp intraday selling leads to a rapid reversal above key averages."

Mixed momentum and intraday selling raise choppy trade risks

Momentum is mixed, with a neutral ADX D1 (16.01) and a MACD D1 that leans bullish but is contradicted by strong selling on most lower timeframes. RSI and CCI on D1 are in modest buy territory, but intraday readings signal consistent selling and several oscillators (Stoch RSI, CCI) highlight oversold conditions. The BBP on D1 signals strong buyer emergence, though the AO aligns with bullish direction only on the daily — other timeframes stay negative. The pair slipped 0.65% on the session with no gap between sessions, and is currently near today's low (range: ₪3.0969–₪3.1306), reflecting moderate intraday volatility and persistent pressure since the open. Divergences between daily and intraday indicators increase risks of choppy, reactive trade around the lows.

Earlier, analysts noted that the US Dollar vs Israeli Shekel was under persistent bearish momentum, with technical signals pointing to ongoing downside pressure. The latest market action deepens this view, as heightened intraday volatility and continued selling suggest the risk of a breakdown below recent lows is increasing, making a sustained move lower the prevailing scenario to monitor.
