Us dollar vs shekel slides 0.70% today

Highlights

USD/ILS remains under sustained selling pressure, trading below key moving averages and confirming a strong bearish trend.
Momentum and oscillator indicators show persistent oversold conditions, with sellers dominating intraday trading and no credible signs of reversal.
Forecast range for the next five sessions is ₪2.96–₪3.01, with a high probability of sideways or further downside movement unless resistance at ₪3.0657 is decisively breached.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that USD/ILS remains deeply pressured below its key moving averages, indicating broad weakness across all timeframes. He sees persistent bearish momentum, with no supportive signals from technical or sentiment indicators. The lack of supportive news flow only exacerbates uncertainty. Kharitonov also points to the absence of credible reversal signals, with the bears firmly in control. Risks are high for further decline absent a decisive break above resistance. "This setup leaves little room for optimism as sellers dictate the pace, and any upward move is likely to be short-lived."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, recognizes near-term bearish momentum, but highlights the market's tendency to consolidate after strong moves. He believes volatility and oversold conditions could create opportunities for agile traders seeking rebounds toward resistance levels. While no bullish confirmation is present, the outlook for a range-bound session could spark tactical setups. Karapetjanc remains constructive on a potential upside break if resistance at ₪3.0657 is challenged. "Despite current pressure, the market offers setups for nimble traders, especially if upside triggers emerge in coming sessions."

Bearish momentum intensifies as oscillators confirm oversold state

USD/ILS trades well below the MA-20 (₪3.0401), MA-50 (₪3.0895), and MA-200 (₪3.1692), reflecting persistent selling pressure over short, medium, and long timeframes. The nearest dynamic resistance on the daily chart is the Ichimoku Kijun at ₪3.0657, with no immediate support from the moving averages above the current price. Momentum is negative on both MACD and Average Directional Index (ADX), indicating a well-established bearish trend. Relative Strength Index (RSI), Stochastic RSI, and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) all signal oversold conditions, affirming a heavily sold market environment. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) at -0.0054 confirms that sellers dominate intraday momentum, and the intraday forecast is also bearish. The pair opened nearly flat and is currently near the bottom of today’s range after slipping 0.70% to ₪2.9806. Intraday volatility stands at 0.69%, and price action reflects continued pressure after the open. Momentum and intraday performance clearly reinforce the bearish tone, with no significant divergence between the oscillators and momentum signals.

Earlier, analysts noted that persistent bearish momentum and strong shekel performance were keeping the US Dollar under sustained pressure against the Israeli Shekel. The current analysis not only reaffirms this downward bias but also highlights that a break below ₪2.96 could serve as a catalyst for accelerated declines in the days ahead.
