Highlights

USD/UZS maintains a bearish outlook, trading below key moving averages with sellers firmly in control.
Momentum signals remain weak and mixed, with overbought intraday conditions briefly favoring buyers but failing to reverse the broader trend.
Expected trading range over the next five sessions is UZS 11,883.45 to UZS 12,113.08, with a higher likelihood of continued downside.

Anton Kharitonov notes the continued weakness in USD/UZS, with the price remaining clearly below all key moving averages. He sees that multiple momentum indicators confirm bearish pressure and that even brief bouts of intraday buyer activity have failed to alter the overall tone. Kharitonov highlights the lack of supportive news or fundamentals, further underlining the pair’s vulnerability. He warns that even minor rallies are likely to encounter resistance at the Ichimoku Kijun and remain capped. "The technical picture and lack of positive catalysts leave limited space for a reversal, with further downside risk dominating," says Kharitonov.

Viktoras Karapetjanc acknowledges recent selling pressure but believes the underlying market structure is holding within a defined volatility band. He emphasizes that, despite no apparent news catalysts, the pair is still trading above key longer-term supports. Karapetjanc points out this environment may offer opportunities for range traders and those seeking a reversal on oversold conditions. He highlights that a clear move above UZS 12,046 could quickly bring resistance at UZS 12,113 into view. "I see this consolidation phase as a setup for potential upside — patient traders should watch for breakout signals," Karapetjanc states.

Bearish technicals persist as momentum fades and resistance holds

USD/UZS is trading below the 20-day and 200-day moving averages (UZS 12,054.04 and UZS 12,093.31) as well as well below the 50-day moving average (UZS 12,108.27), indicating ongoing pressure from sellers in the short and medium term along with fading long-term support. The nearest dynamic resistance on the daily chart is marked by the Ichimoku Kijun at UZS 12,046.65, with no golden or death cross currently present. Intraday momentum for the pair remains weak as the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) gives a strong sell signal and the Average Directional Index (ADX) remains low, suggesting limited directional strength. Relative Strength Index (RSI) is just above 51, signaling a muted stance, and the Stochastic RSI and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) both read neutral on the daily chart. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) reports a value of 38.38 and is flagged as overbought, indicating brief buyer dominance intraday despite overall bearish pressure. The price is near the session’s low after opening with a small upside gap of about UZS 8.64, now down 0.50% at UZS 12,021.23, with intraday volatility standing at 0.76%. The tone is one of renewed selling after initial strength at the open, with momentum indicators hinting at continued uncertainty.

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/UZS was experiencing persistent bearish pressure amidst mixed momentum signals and cautious investor sentiment. The current backdrop reinforces this outlook, with limited probability of sustained gains and a sideways-to-lower bias prevailing, making a break below UZS 11,883 an important risk level for renewed downside.
