Highlights

Safe haven flows boost dollar as volatility increases on geopolitical tensions
Recent news highlights that a stronger US Dollar has contributed to declines in gold and silver prices on MCX, with gold dropping to approximately Rs 1.37 lakh and silver tumbling by nearly 6 percent, despite ongoing geopolitical tensions. Geopolitical events in the Middle East have caused increased volatility in markets, further supporting the US Dollar, which tends to strengthen during periods of global uncertainty. Risk-off sentiment has led investors to favor the US Dollar as a safe haven currency.
Diverging momentum signals highlight buyer strength amid heightened volatility
MACD and ADX on the D1 chart for USD/PLN both point to strong upward momentum. RSI is neutral at 54.95, as is CCI at 2.49, while Stoch RSI at 6.15 indicates the pair is in oversold territory, illustrating a divergence between momentum signals and oscillators. BBP registers a positive buy signal showing buyer dominance in the near term, while AO remains neutral. The pair rose 0.56% to 3.7229 zł, opening with a small gap above the prior close and now trading just above today's high of 3.7211 zł, marking heightened intraday volatility and highlighting renewed strength near the upper bound of the trading range.
Further gains likely as technical signals outweigh downside risks
Over the next five sessions, USD/PLN is likely to remain within a typical volatility band of 3.7135–3.7346 zł. With three out of four weekly indicators (RSI, ADX, MACD, and MA-50) signaling buys, the likelihood of further price increases is very high (above 80%), making significant declines unlikely. The baseline scenario anticipates consolidation inside the 3.71–3.73 zł corridor. A decisive move above 3.7346 zł may set up further gains, while a drop below 3.7135 zł could trigger a correction toward the Kijun support, though the probability of this remains low.
Earlier, analysts noted that USD/PLN maintained a broadly bullish technical structure amid persistent buying momentum. The current technical alignment and prevailing risk-off sentiment reinforce this outlook, with traders advised to monitor a potential breakout above the 3.7346 zł threshold as a likely trigger for accelerated gains.
