Reserve allocations sustain dollar flows despite prevailing selling pressure

Recent data confirmed that the U.S. dollar remained the dominant global reserve currency at the end of 2025, accounting for 56.8% of the $13.1 trillion in reserves held by central banks. This substantial allocation reflects persistent demand for U.S. dollar liquidity in official reserve portfolios. Such reserve-driven demand typically influences underlying capital flows and currency stability, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Mixed momentum signals reinforce seller advantage near intraday lows

On the technical front, USD/COP trades below its MA-20 at COL$3,498.63, MA-50 at COL$3,530.57, and MA-200 at COL$3,704.72. The immediate resistance is marked by the Ichimoku Kijun at COL$3,523.60. Momentum indicators present a mixed signal set: MACD and ADX both show strong sell signals, while RSI reads 40.67, indicating a sell. Stoch RSI and BBP are flagged as overbought, contrasting with a neutral CCI and AO. This divergence among oscillators, along with price positioning near today's low and subdued volatility, highlights persistent seller dominance in intraday action according to BBP.

Downside favored as consolidation occurs within established volatility band

In the short term, USD/COP is expected to consolidate within the COL$3,447.45 to COL$3,506.87 range, reflecting typical volatility bands at current levels. The probability for an upward move stands at 24%, while downside continuation is favored at 76%. A close above resistance at COL$3,523.60 could trigger additional gains, whereas a break below COL$3,447.45 would likely confirm renewed downside momentum.

Anton Kharitonov, an expert at Traders Union, sees persistent downside pressure on USD/COP despite the dollar’s global reserve dominance. He notes that technical indicators continue to favor sellers, with momentum and oscillator signals staying weak. The analyst remains cautious as price remains well below all key moving averages and faces resistance at COL$3,523.60. "Until USD/COP reclaims at least the MA-20 and breaks above COL$3,523.60, I remain defensive and expect further weakness to prevail."

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/COP was experiencing sustained downside momentum amid persistent bearish technical signals. The latest shift in oscillator dynamics—marked by mixed signals and an overbought warning on some indicators despite ongoing selling pressure—raises the risk of a potential volatility spike, making the COL$3,447.45–COL$3,523.60 band a critical zone for traders to monitor in the sessions ahead.
