Volatility rises as Trump delays Iran strikes and yields retreat

US President Donald Trump has postponed strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure, citing ongoing talks, which has resulted in a sharp drop in the US dollar and a slide in oil prices as of March 23, 2026. US Treasury yields also fell on Monday from earlier highs, following Trump's easing of threats against Iran and the subsequent decline in oil prices. These geopolitical developments have contributed to recent volatility in currency and bond markets.

Bullish impulse holds as multiple indicators confirm upward trend

USD/THB is currently trading above its SMA-20, SMA-50, and SMA-200, confirming strong upside momentum for the short, medium, and long term. The Ichimoku Kijun at ฿31.9674 offers immediate support. Daily momentum is firm with MACD and ADX in confirmation, while RSI and CCI show buy signals, and Stoch RSI is in oversold territory. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) reflects a buyer advantage, with moderate intraday volatility, persistent buying pressure after the open, while HMA shows some short-term caution and the Awesome Oscillator remains neutral. Although some oscillators present conflicting overbought and oversold signals, daily momentum indicators support the ongoing intraday uptrend.

Range-bound scenario likely as mixed momentum signals cap direction

In the next five trading days, USD/THB is expected to move within a typical volatility band between ฿32.57 and ฿32.74. The probability of further gains in the short term stands at 50%, with a lower chance of a decline. The baseline scenario points to sideways trading, given mixed weekly momentum signals. A bullish case would require a move and close above immediate resistance at ฿32.74, while a bearish outcome would only materialize with a drop below support at ฿32.57.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees USD/THB maintaining technical strength above key moving averages. He notes momentum is firm, but recent geopolitical events and mixed oscillators fuel short-term uncertainty. Base case is sideways within ฿32.57–฿32.74, given conflicting signals and only a 50% chance of further gains. "Until USD/THB breaks above resistance at ฿32.74, I remain cautious and stick to the range."

Earlier, analysts noted that the US dollar maintained a bullish bias against the Thai baht, buoyed by positive momentum despite emerging short-term uncertainties. The latest market action, shaped by shifting geopolitical dynamics and sustained technical strength, points to a period of consolidation where traders should closely monitor the ฿32.74 resistance as a potential trigger for renewed directional movement.
