Highlights

USD/ILS maintains a bullish short- and medium-term bias, supported by strong intraday upward momentum.
Momentum indicators signal overbought conditions, suggesting risk of near-term exhaustion and potential for a pause or reversal.
Expected trading range this week is ₪2.93–₪3.00, with a breakout above ₪3.00 required for further upside, while a close below ₪2.93 increases retracement risk.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, views the current USD/ILS momentum as technically supported but at risk of near-term exhaustion. He sees the rally sustained above both 20-day and 50-day averages, yet capped by the firmness of the 200-day resistance at ₪3.0987. Short-term indicators like RSI and CCI show overbought readings, which Kharitonov interprets as a sign of potential correction. The absence of recent news leaves sentiment unchanged and undermines conviction for a sustained breakout. "With intraday volatility at 0.94% and most weekly signals lacking confirmation, I do not expect further upside without new drivers," he says.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, highlights the resilient bullish structure of USD/ILS. He notes that key moving averages are aligned to support buyers, and the market remains well bid above medium-term levels. Even with news flow absent, he believes the market offers multiple setups for tactical traders, especially if the psychologically important ₪3.00 mark is cleared. Karapetjanc states, "Further growth is expected if resistance gives way, as the bullish structure remains intact despite a lull in news."

Bulls retain control amid overbought signals and resistance near ₪3.00

On the technical side, USD/ILS retains a bullish outlook above key short- and medium-term moving averages, though the long-term 200-day average at ₪3.0987 continues to act as resistance. The nearest support emerges at the daily Ichimoku Kijun of ₪2.8937, with resistance forming around the psychologically important ₪3.00 mark. Momentum indicators, including the ADX and MACD, remain bullish, while the RSI (62.7) and CCI (114.8) approach overbought territory. Stochastic RSI signals overbought conditions, and Bull/Bear Power points to dominant buying, suggesting upward momentum but with some risk of short-term exhaustion as intraday volatility reaches 0.94%.

Earlier, analysts noted that while USD/ILS displayed ongoing short- and medium-term strength, longer-term resistance and mixed momentum signals warranted a cautious outlook. The latest developments reinforce this cautious optimism, as continued upside attempts are increasingly sensitive to overbought momentum signals, making a clean breakout above ₪3.00 the key trigger for a potential shift in trend.
