Highlights

USD/COP remains under persistent bearish pressure, trading below short, medium, and long-term moving averages.
All major momentum and volatility indicators confirm a strong oversold condition, pointing to prevailing seller dominance.
Over the next five days, USD/COP is expected to hold sideways between COL$3,560.18 and COL$3,574.42, with downside risk if COL$3,560 breaks.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that USD/COP remains bearish across all observed timeframes, trading firmly below key moving averages. He emphasizes that oversold signals from multiple indicators point to persistent selling with no evident bullish catalysts, while the absence of supportive news further weakens sentiment. Kharitonov believes technical exhaustion alone is unlikely to spark a reversal given the strong downward momentum. He warns that any slip below COL$3,560 could accelerate declines, with no dynamic support in sight. "With sellers decisively in control and no material improvements in news flow, I see little reason to expect near-term stabilization."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees the current market setup as an opportunity for patient bullish positioning. He asserts that while momentum and news are lacking, tight volatility bands and pronounced oversold readings can precede powerful reversals. The analyst expects that if resistance at COL$3,635.41 is breached, a renewed uptrend may quickly unfold. Karapetjanc remains confident that market structure still offers setups for those anticipating a reversal. "Oversold conditions combined with narrow ranges can set the stage for an eventual bullish breakout above COL$3,635.41."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, highlights that USD/COP faces downward pressure but is now sitting near a support zone around COL$3,560. He points out that suppressed volatility alongside oversold signals may tempt tactical contrarian trades, especially if short-term exhaustion builds. Mehta advises watching for sharp price action at resistance or a flush below key support for entry cues. "A move outside the COL$3,560.18 to COL$3,574.42 band could lead to either a reversal setup or further downside acceleration."

Negative momentum confirmed as oscillators signal broad-based weakness

Momentum signals strengthen the downside case. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Average Directional Index (ADX) confirm negative momentum. Relative Strength Index (RSI), Stochastic RSI, and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) all indicate the pair is oversold. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) shows sellers currently dominate intraday momentum, with an oversold reading supporting further caution. The price is near the day’s low, with weakness after the open being clear and aligning with underlying bearish momentum. Indicators are broadly in agreement, reinforcing the negative intraday tone. The nearest resistance is identified by the Ichimoku Kijun at COL$3,635.41, with no close dynamic support evident above the current market.

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/COP was entrenched in a persistent bearish trend with sellers in control across multiple timeframes. The latest technical readings further corroborate this view, making a decisive break below the COL$3,560 level the key risk for accelerated downside in the coming sessions.
