Safe-haven exits accelerate after ceasefire deal and Iran negotiations

Investor sentiment toward the US Dollar vs Colombian Peso has shifted in response to news of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon, as well as renewed prospects for Iran talks that prompted a reduction in safe-haven demand for the dollar. U.S. Treasury yields were steady after an earlier increase, with the two-year yield at 3.7758% and the 10-year at 4.3132%. The Federal Reserve is now expected to keep interest rates unchanged this year, while the dollar index has recorded a substantial drop through 2025. European Central Bank policymakers have taken a cautious stance on future interest rate adjustments, awaiting further economic data.

Oversold signals deepen as seller control and weak momentum persist

Momentum indicators highlight ongoing seller control: daily MACD remains in a sell configuration, with subdued ADX reflecting overall weak trend strength. Both RSI and CCI signal oversold conditions, while Stoch RSI is neutral but oversold on several intraday charts; BBP indicates strong seller dominance. The Awesome Oscillator reinforces the downward momentum, in alignment with the current daily decline. Price action is clustered near the lower end of the intraday range, indicating moderate volatility and sustained pressure after the open. Although most oscillators and momentum indicators remain aligned to the downside, brief oversold relief could occur due to short-term divergences.

Sideways trade likely as bearish bias and low reversal odds dominate

Over the next five trading days, USD/COP is expected to trade within a typical volatility band between COL$3,545 and COL$3,630. The technical bias remains bearish, with less than a 20% probability of a price increase based on current weekly indicator signals. Base case scenario calls for prices consolidating sideways within this range. A move above COL$3,648 would be required to trigger a bullish reversal, while a drop below COL$3,545 could accelerate further declines, keeping sellers in control unless a sharp reversal or new positive catalyst emerges.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees the bearish USD/COP trend staying intact below major moving averages and key resistance. He notes that investor sentiment weakened for the dollar after Middle East de-escalation and fading rate hike expectations in the US. Technicals signal seller control, but with only minor oversold bounce risk. "As long as USD/COP remains under COL$3,648, I see more downside potential and stick with a defensive stance."

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/COP was exhibiting a short-term rebound but remained firmly entrenched in an overall bearish trend. This outlook is reinforced as the latest developments sustain downside pressure, making a sustained move above the daily Ichimoku Kijun a pivotal signal for any potential shift in trend.
