Safe-haven outflows accelerate amid Middle East ceasefire progress

The U.S. dollar is headed for a second consecutive weekly decline as a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon and prospects for renewed Iran talks have led investors to unwind safe-haven positions. U.S. Treasury yields have held steady, and market expectations indicate that the Federal Reserve is likely to keep interest rates on hold for the remainder of the year. Policymakers are monitoring inflation pressures, with still-elevated oil prices contributing to inflation concerns. European Central Bank officials have also signaled caution regarding near-term rate hikes, stating that more data is needed before making a decision.

Bearish momentum confirmed as technical indicators signal oversold

USD/MXN remains under pronounced bearish momentum, having closed beneath the SMA-20, SMA-50, and SMA-200, as well as the Ichimoku Kijun level at Mex$17.6820, which acts as immediate resistance. Indicators such as MACD (sell signal), ADX (bearish but moderate trend on D1; neutral on weekly), and D1 RSI (31.8) confirm the negative sentiment, while Stoch RSI and CCI indicate oversold conditions. BBP shows ongoing seller dominance with intraday selling pressure intact. The pair is trading near today’s low with moderate volatility, and oscillators show no significant divergences at this point.

Downside risk elevated as bearish skew dominates short-term range

In the near term, the expected price range for USD/MXN during the next five trading days is Mex$17.14 to Mex$17.38, which reflects a typical volatility band relative to current levels and a bearish skew. Downside probability remains very high (over 80%), with a low chance of a meaningful rebound. The base scenario is for sideways movement within this corridor unless a break below Mex$17.14 triggers new lows. A bullish move would require a close above Mex$17.68 (Kijun resistance), targeting a retracement toward Mex$17.38.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees persistent negative momentum in USD/MXN as the pair stays below all key moving averages and key technical resistance at Mex$17.68. He notes market sentiment remains cautious amid easing geopolitical risks and stable Fed policy expectations, limiting any rebound attempts. Downside remains dominant until Mex$17.68 is decisively reclaimed. "Base case is more range-bound weakness — unless we close back above Mex$17.68, rallies should be distrusted," he concludes.

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/MXN was entrenched in persistent bearish momentum with sellers dominating across all major trend horizons. The current environment, characterized by sustained downside pressure and a strong probability of further losses, puts increased focus on the risk of a deeper bearish extension if market sentiment or geopolitical shifts intensify.
