Investment optimism offset by broader selling after regional conflict

Uzbekistan and the United States launched the U.S.-Uzbekistan Business and Investment Council, an initiative aimed at expanding economic cooperation and promoting cross-border investment. The joint investment portfolio between Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan was reported to include 52 projects with a combined value of $3.8 billion. The U.S. dollar recorded gains of 2.2% following the outbreak of war in Iran, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Mixed momentum as oscillators diverge near key technical thresholds

Technically, USD/UZS is positioned below both the SMA-20 and SMA-50, reinforcing short- and medium-term bearish sentiment, while maintaining support above the SMA-200. The Ichimoku Kijun acts as immediate resistance at $12,147.83, just above the current price. Momentum indicators are mixed: the MACD and RSI on the daily timeframe remain in buy territory, the ADX signals weak trend strength, Stoch RSI is neutral near the overbought zone, CCI continues to reflect some buyer interest, and BBP points to overbought conditions with short-term buyer dominance. The Awesome Oscillator supports a bullish undertone, though divergences among oscillators suggest market indecision and fading momentum after early losses.

Sideways outlook favored as upside breakout risk remains limited

In the short term, USD/UZS is expected to trade within a typical volatility band between $12,092 and $12,158 over the next five sessions. The probability of an upward move remains very low, with further declines favored. Baseline expectations are for a sideways pattern between support at $12,092 and resistance at $12,147. A break above the Kijun resistance and the SMA-20 could open the way to the $12,158 area, while sustained weakness below $12,092 would expose the pair to additional downside.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees soft bearish pressure on USD/UZS but notes that long-term support remains intact. He believes the new investment council between Uzbekistan and the United States adds valuable macro backing, even as technical signals remain mixed and momentum fades. The analyst is constructive overall, expecting the pair to hold its support for now and react to macro developments. In his words: "I view the current range as an accumulation phase, and any sustained positive macro news could quickly restore upside momentum for USD/UZS."

Earlier, analysts noted that the USD/UZS exhibited short-term bullishness but also cautioned that mixed momentum signals and overbought conditions raised the risk of sideways consolidation or downside. The current technical posture reinforces this cautious perspective, with immediate attention on whether the pair can sustain support above $12,092 or risks further weakness should it break below this threshold.
