Highlights
- USD/PLN is trading just above short-term support, but remains below significant longer-term moving averages, indicating underlying bearish momentum.
- Technical indicators show mixed signals, with overbought conditions and intraday buyer dominance, but lack confirmatory bullish trend strength.
- The pair is expected to range between zł3.58 and zł3.65 over the next five sessions, with downside risk prevailing unless resistance at zł3.6430 is decisively broken.
Bearish momentum persists amid indicator divergence and range-bound action
Momentum signals are mixed: the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows strong bearish momentum, and the Average Directional Index (ADX) is neutral, indicating a lack of strong trend. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is neutral-bullish, Commodity Channel Index (CCI) signals a buy, and the Stochastic RSI points to overbought conditions. Bull/Bear Power (BBP, 0.0180) indicates buyers dominate intraday momentum and suggests overbought pressure, but daily price action does not confirm strength. This setup suggests short-term stabilization, modest medium-term bearish pressure, and long-term support nearby, with dynamic resistance from the Ichimoku Kijun at zł3.6430 and immediate support near zł3.6168. The negative bias after the open and divergence between trend and oscillators highlight choppy, pressured trading.
Earlier, analysts noted that USD/PLN was dominated by persistent bearish momentum, with sellers maintaining control and downside risk prevailing. While the current setup indicates some intraday stabilization and oscillators suggesting mixed signals, traders should be alert to renewed bearish momentum, especially if the pair closes below immediate support—potentially triggering further downside in the days ahead.
