Highlights

USD/PHP maintains a strong bullish trend across short-, medium-, and long-term timeframes, supported by all major trend indicators.
Despite the prevailing bullish structure, overbought signals from RSI, CCI, and Stochastic RSI point to rising correction risks near-term.
For the next 5 trading days, USD/PHP is likely to trade between ₱61.15 and ₱61.88, with over 80% probability of further upside barring a break below support.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes the technical strength in USD/PHP with price above all major moving averages. He observes that despite strong momentum, intraday action is showing signs of exhaustion as key oscillators move into overbought territory. Kharitonov criticizes the lack of relevant news, pointing out this removes a potential driver for further directional moves. He warns that reliance on technicals alone can make sharp reversals more likely when overbought conditions persist. "Without fresh fundamental catalysts, I remain cautious — an overextended rally often pulls back before any sustainable trend resumes."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, highlights the prevailing bullish momentum in USD/PHP. He sees the strong technical setup as a sign that further growth is likely, reinforced by all major weekly indicators giving clear buy signals. The lack of negative news flow or macro headwinds means the bullish structure remains intact. Karapetjanc is confident that the market offers multiple setups for traders. "With momentum and weekly signals aligned, I expect the pair to test new highs above ₱61.88 in the near term."

Buy signals persist as overbought conditions raise caution

Momentum remains positive with the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Average Directional Index (ADX) both showing buy signals on the daily chart, confirming sustained trend strength. However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) both point to overbought conditions, with the Stochastic RSI nearing overbought territory as well. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) indicates buyers are dominating intraday momentum, though this is accompanied by an overbought warning. The Awesome Oscillator also supports the bullish trend. The nearest dynamic support is the Ichimoku Kijun at ₱60.74 and the previous session’s high and the MA-50 area may serve as the next resistance.

Earlier, analysts noted that persistent macroeconomic headwinds and safe-haven flows continued to pressure the Philippine peso, supporting a broadly bullish outlook for the US dollar. The current setup reinforces this view, with multiple trend indicators aligned and an increased probability of a breakout above ₱61.88, making this level a critical upside trigger for traders in the coming sessions.
