Foreign investment and infrastructure highlight som’s policy-driven outlook

Uzbekistan has entered a $12.5 billion strategic partnership with the Asian Development Bank, underscoring the country's commitment to economic growth and infrastructure expansion. President Shavkat Mirziyoyev noted that over $150 billion in foreign investment has been attracted since 2016, emphasizing the nation's focus on poverty eradication and development by 2030. Additional initiatives include progress on the China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan railway and increased regional cooperation, all of which may influence the US Dollar vs Uzbekistan Som.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, highlights the persistent bearish structure in USD/UZS. He notes that the price remains below all major moving averages, confirming weakness across all timeframes. Momentum indicators, including MACD and ADX, signal both negative trend and lack of conviction, while oscillators show oversold conditions with sellers dominating. Despite recent investment headlines, Kharitonov warns that market optimism is failing to support any sustainable reversal. "Short-term bounces remain vulnerable, and without a shift in technical or macro drivers, further downside cannot be ruled out," he says.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, views the recent $12.5 billion partnership with the Asian Development Bank as a strong signal of Uzbekistan’s growth trajectory. He points to ambitious infrastructure projects and robust foreign investment as catalysts elevating economic sentiment and long-term currency prospects. Karapetjanc believes that current price pressure could soon offer attractive setups for bullish participants, especially as strategic initiatives mature. He remains constructive, noting, "The bullish structure remains intact — these macro drivers set the stage for future appreciation in the Uzbekistan Som."

Diverging momentum signals as oversold conditions and resistance converge

USD/UZS is trading below its 20-day (UZS 12,082.88), 50-day (UZS 12,134.96), and 200-day (UZS 12,095.37) simple moving averages, indicating sustained short-, medium-, and long-term bearish pressure on the pair. The nearest dynamic resistance is marked by the Ichimoku Kijun line at UZS 12,076.20, while support is found near the recent low and the Hull Moving Average, both just below UZS 12,000. Momentum signals remain mixed: the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is negative and forecasts further downside, although the Average Directional Index (ADX) at 16.40 signals a lack of decisive trend strength. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), Commodity Channel Index (CCI), and Bull/Bear Power (BBP) all point to oversold conditions with sellers dominating intraday momentum, as BBP is deeply negative and indicative of continued seller control. However, the Stochastic RSI flashes a strong buy on the daily timeframe, revealing clear divergence among oscillators. The pair opened nearly flat, has gained 0.53% intraday (UZS 63.42 higher), is positioned near the daily high with daily volatility at 0.97%. Intraday tone is firm, showing strength toward session highs, which partially contradicts lingering downside momentum from longer-term indicators.

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/UZS remained under sustained bearish pressure with sellers firmly in control across all major timeframes. The current backdrop of persistent oversold momentum and technical resistance suggests traders should pay close attention to any break above the Ichimoku Kijun line, as it could signal a shift in the prevailing downtrend or reinforce the risk of renewed selling.
