Elevated downside risk as key levels shape near-term outlook
Over the next 23 trading days, USD/PHP is likely to move within a typical volatility band between PHP61.17 and PHP61.79. Downside risk is elevated, with the probability of a further decline much higher than a rebound. A bullish scenario would require a break above PHP61.70 resistance, while breach of support at PHP61.17 could accelerate selling. The baseline is for the pair to consolidate sideways unless these key levels are decisively broken.

Recent price action now signals a shift toward downside risk, making continued closes below the Ichimoku Kijun a key indicator for sellers to watch in the days ahead.
