Highlights

USD/BRL remains under pressure across all major time frames, trading below key short- and long-term moving averages.
Momentum indicators show underlying weakness and trend indecision, with mostly bearish signals and limited evidence of sustained buying power.
Expected range for the next five sessions is R$4.96 to R$5.03, with downside moves favored unless R$5.0710 resistance breaks.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that USD/BRL remains pressured below all key moving averages. He highlights how conflicting technical signals weaken the case for sustained gains. With a bearish MACD and RSI near 40, Kharitonov sees persistent underlying weakness. He cautions that the absence of supporting news flow removes potential catalysts for buyers. "Downside risks outweigh upside potential here — I would remain cautious until R$5.0710 is decisively cleared," Kharitonov warns.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, points out the robust intraday rebound and positive BBP as signals of buyers asserting control. He emphasizes that despite no bullish indicator shift yet, the market’s volatility band offers setups for agile participants. The sideways movement in a tight range still enables opportunities if resistance at R$5.0710 is tested. "The structure is primed for upside expansion and further growth should follow a decisive break above immediate resistance," Karapetjanc states.

Mixed momentum as intraday buyers test resistance on upside gap

Momentum readings are mixed: the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) on the daily chart remains strongly bearish, while the Average Directional Index (ADX) signals a weak trend. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) both point to underlying weakness, with daily RSI at 39.9 and CCI in neutral territory, and the Stochastic RSI signals overbought readings, flagging caution for fresh buyers. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) shows a positive value, suggesting buyers are in control intraday, and the Awesome Oscillator (AO) is neutral, so not reinforcing any clear trend. The pair surged R$0.0265 or 0.53% on the day following an upside opening gap of approximately R$0.0166, with the current price near the session’s high and intraday volatility at 0.56%. This indicates robust upward momentum toward the top of the day’s range.

Earlier, analysts noted that while USD/BRL showed short-term buying interest, broader technical signals continued to favor a bearish outlook. The current breakdown below all key moving averages and persistently mixed momentum indicators reinforce seller dominance, making downside risk the critical factor for traders monitoring this pair.
