Highlights

Stable Treasury yields reflect expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep rates unchanged while monitoring geopolitical risks and inflation.
USD/THB remains under bearish pressure below major moving averages, with technical indicators signaling a likely move toward the ฿31.70–฿32.20 range.

Safe-haven outflows accelerate with Middle East ceasefire and Fed pause

The U.S. dollar recorded a second consecutive weekly decline as a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon and prospects for renewed talks with Iran prompted investors to unwind safe-haven positions. U.S. Treasury yields remained steady, with the two-year at 3.7758% and the 10-year at 4.3132%, while markets anticipated the Federal Reserve would keep interest rates unchanged throughout the year. Policymakers monitored inflation linked to geopolitical developments and ongoing discussions about the dollar's dominance, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Technical weakness persists with oversold signals and nearby long-term support

Technically, USD/THB remains under pressure, trading below short- and medium-term moving averages with the SMA-20 at ฿32.4042, SMA-50 at ฿32.2144, and current price just under the SMA-200 at ฿31.9269, suggesting a weak trend but long-term support nearby. The Ichimoku Kijun level at ฿32.4622 acts as immediate resistance. Most momentum indicators signal negative conditions: MACD is in "Sell" mode, ADX is neutral, RSI at 39.84 signals oversold, Stoch RSI is deeply oversold, CCI is negative, BBP confirms seller dominance, and Awesome Oscillator supports the current downtrend. The price is near today's low within a moderate range of ฿31.8909–฿32.1616, affirming sustained downside pressure.

Downward bias prevails as upside breakout odds remain low

In the short term, the expected volatility band for USD/THB over the next five sessions is ฿31.70–฿32.20, reflecting typical weekly fluctuations. The probability of an upward move remains very low (under 20%), with prevailing technical signals favoring a continued sideways or downward bias within the current corridor. If price recovers above resistance at ฿32.46, further gains would become possible, while a sustained move below the SMA-200 at ฿31.93 could see additional declines.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, analyst at Traders Union, is constructive on USD/THB despite continued selling pressure. He points out that macro drivers — including eased global tensions and stable U.S. yields — have weakened safe-haven demand for the dollar. However, with long-term support just below current levels and oversold conditions, he sees a potential for stabilization. Karapetjanc believes any recovery above the ฿32.46 resistance could bring a more optimistic outlook. "I expect ongoing sideways or modest downside near term, but strong support and oversold signals make a technical rebound increasingly likely if sentiment turns positive."

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/THB was experiencing ongoing selling pressure amid short-term uncertainty and a tendency for sideways consolidation. The current context reinforces this view, with persistent downside momentum underscoring the importance of monitoring the SMA-200 near ฿31.93 as a critical threshold for either further declines or potential stabilization.
