Highlights

USD/PLN holds within a medium- to long-term bullish channel, trading near zł3.6402 amid short-term consolidation.
Momentum signals are mixed, with bullish daily momentum contrasting with intraday weakness and overbought conditions highlighted by oscillators.
Expected range for the next five sessions is zł3.61 to zł3.66, with equal probability of breakout or breakdown from current levels.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that USD/PLN is showing technical uncertainty with the price stuck just below the MA-20 and above the MA-50 and MA-200. He sees mixed signals from momentum indicators, highlighting that ADX is notably weak and the Stochastic RSI flashes overbought risk. Lack of fresh news input prevents any substantive fundamental or sentiment shift. Kharitonov remains wary of unresolved intraday weakness versus the background of a tenuous bullish pattern. "Given the divergence between daily momentum and intraday pressure, I urge traders to remain defensive unless the pair decisively breaks zl3.6425 or zl3.6292."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, believes the underlying bullish structure for USD/PLN is still intact, supported by strong technical bases above the MA-50 and MA-200. He emphasizes that buyers retain control intraday and the technical context offers a foundation for further growth despite the current pullback. Karapetjanc points to the clear upward tilt in key weekly measures and highlights that market consolidation presents new setups for upside continuation. "I see strong potential for USD/PLN to move towards the upper end of the range and recommend watching for a break above zl3.6425 as a bullish trigger."

Bullish momentum diverges from weak intraday trend signals

Momentum readings present a mixed technical outlook. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) signals upward momentum, but the Average Directional Index (ADX) is muted at 8.74, pointing to a lack of clear trend strength. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 57.55 and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) at 78.03 reflect mildly bullish conditions. However, the Stochastic RSI shows an overbought signal, which suggests caution at current levels. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) is positive, indicating buyers retain dominance intraday. The nearest dynamic support is located at the Ichimoku Kijun line around zł3.6292, with MA-20 near-term acting as resistance. Intraday momentum shows pressure after the open. There is a clear divergence between bullish daily momentum and intraday weakness.

Earlier, analysts noted that a shift toward short-term bearish momentum was emerging for USD/PLN, despite a broader bullish trend. The latest market action reveals a more balanced technical landscape, so traders should watch for a decisive break above zł3.6425 or below zł3.6292 as the next directional catalyst.
