Mixed momentum and seller dominance as price tests support levels
The SMA-20 stands at COL$3,737.40, and SMA-200 at COL$3,721.67, both sitting above current price, while the SMA-50 at COL$3,672.27 offers medium-term support below. The Ichimoku Kijun on D1 is COL$3,685.16, acting as immediate support. Momentum indicators show mixed conditions: MACD signals strong upside momentum, ADX indicates only moderate trend strength, RSI is near 51, Stoch RSI flags oversold, and CCI reads neutral. BBP remains deeply negative, highlighting persistent intraday seller dominance. Today opened with a small gap up but subsequently retreated, keeping price mid-range within the COL$3,706.49–COL$3,732.19 intraday band; volatility has been moderate.
Bearish bias prevails as upside probability remains subdued
Over the next five trading sessions, USD/COP is expected to fluctuate within a band of COL$3,664 to COL$3,724, consistent with typical volatility for the pair. The probability of a price increase remains low, with less than a 20% chance based on weekly indicators. If the pair breaks above COL$3,724 on firming momentum, a bullish extension could develop; however, if support at COL$3,664 gives way, further declines are likely to accelerate.
Earlier, analysts noted that USD/COP's bullish momentum was showing exhaustion, with upside potential appearing limited and downside risks beginning to build. The latest shift below major moving averages and persistent intraday selling pressure reinforce a cautious stance, making the COL$3,664 support a critical threshold to monitor for potential downside acceleration in the coming sessions.
