Reserve-currency flows support dollar amid geopolitical tensions, NOK-specific drivers muted

According to a recent report, the US dollar has risen 2.2% since the onset of the war in Iran. This movement highlights the dollar's position as the world's reserve currency during the ongoing geopolitical conflict. No new data or major economic announcements specific to the Norwegian krone were identified in the most recent news.

Mixed momentum and oscillators signal persistent bearish pressure below technical resistance

Technical momentum remains weak for USD/NOK, with the pair trading beneath the SMA-20, SMA-50, and SMA-200. The Ichimoku Kijun level at kr9.6387 stands above current levels as immediate resistance. Momentum signals are mixed — MACD on D1 indicates a strong buy, but ADX at 19.80 denotes limited trend strength. RSI (42.2), CCI (-60.3), and Stoch RSI (oversold) point to bearish and oversold conditions, while BBP signals modest intraday buyer dominance; current price action is near the session’s low within a moderate volatility band, and opening gap is negligible. Divergence between momentum and oscillators persists as broad selling pressure dominates.

Downside favored as low upward probability and resistance cap rebound scenarios

For the next five trading days, USD/NOK is expected to fluctuate between kr9.5618 and kr9.6414, forming a typical volatility band relative to current levels. The probability of a price increase remains very low (less than 20%), so downside scenarios are more likely. The baseline scenario projects the pair consolidating sideways just below resistance. Upside risk emerges only with a clear break above kr9.6387, while a drop below kr9.5618 could reinforce further losses given momentum and oscillator signals.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees the USD/NOK pair under consistent pressure, with price action constrained below all main moving averages. He notes weak technical momentum and mixed signals from momentum indicators, which point to limited recovery potential. With no new positive drivers for NOK and risk remaining skewed to the downside, the analyst maintains a cautious outlook. "Unless kr9.6387 is reclaimed, I favor a defensive stance and expect consolidation with downside risk prevailing."

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/NOK faced ongoing selling pressure and risk of further weakness despite some technical signals suggesting potential stabilization. The recent price action reinforces this bearish outlook, with heightened downside risk if the pair decisively breaks below the kr9.5618 support level in the coming sessions.
