Highlights

USD/ILS trades below key moving averages with persistent bearish momentum, signaling continued downside pressure.
Oversold daily indicator signals suggest short-term exhaustion, but no technical evidence yet for a sustained reversal.
Expected five-day range is ₪2.97 to ₪3.05, with a strong bias toward further declines unless resistance at ₪3.05 is breached.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees that USD/ILS remains under sustained selling pressure as it struggles below all major moving averages. Technical momentum is weak and daily indicators mark a firmly oversold market, but without confirming any potential for reversal. He notes that continued absence of supportive news or fundamental drivers amplifies the risk of further downside. Any brief upward move appears to be short covering rather than a genuine trend shift. "With no clear support and momentum signals still negative, the risk of renewed declines remains high for this pair," Kharitonov warns.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, views the recent pullback in USD/ILS as a temporary setback in an otherwise resilient environment. Despite the lack of news, he expects the market’s forward-looking participants to seek value around current oversold levels, with sideways action creating new opportunities. The sharply defined corridor between ₪2.97 and ₪3.05 offers clear setups for tactical trading. "The bullish structure remains intact while the price holds above key supports, and I believe short-term rebounds will offer attractive entry points for active traders," says Karapetjanc.

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, observes a market caught between ongoing selling pressure and emerging short-term volatility. He identifies continued bearish bias, but also sees sharp intraday swings as chances for tactical trades within the defined price band. The persistent oversold readings may fuel quick recovery attempts by reactive traders. "For now, respecting resistance at ₪3.05 and watching for support around ₪2.97 should help exploit swings without overstaying the move," Turakhiya advises.

Oversold signals widen as sellers dominate amid weak momentum

Momentum signals remain weak, as both the MACD and Average Directional Index (ADX) are in sell mode. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), Stochastic RSI, and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) all highlight pronounced oversold readings on the daily chart. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) at -0.0596 confirms that sellers continue to dominate intraday dynamics, and its sell forecast is reinforced by the negative daily trend. The pair opened nearly flat and has pushed higher, currently near the top of its daily range (high of ₪3.0050), with intraday volatility at 1.02%. Dynamic resistance is found near the Ichimoku Kijun level at ₪3.0657, with no dynamic support visible above the current price. There is some divergence between persistent daily oversold signals and the short-term intraday push, indicating possible short covering rather than a fundamental trend reversal.

Earlier, analysts noted that prevailing seller momentum and sustained bearish technical signals were keeping the US Dollar vs Israeli Shekel under pressure. The current technical landscape reinforces this bearish outlook, with fresh oversold readings suggesting that any short-term rallies are more likely to be corrective, while the key downside risk remains a sustained break below the ₪2.97 level.
