Highlights

USD/KRW maintains a bullish technical structure, trading above key moving averages across multiple time frames.
Short-term momentum is mixed, with strong sell signals from key oscillators conflicting with overbought conditions and buyer control intraday.
The pair is expected to consolidate between ₩1,510.39 and ₩1,525.57 over the next two sessions, with a high probability of downside movement.

Mixed momentum as buyer dominance offsets bearish signals

On the technical front, USD/KRW is trading above both the MA-20 at ₩1,513.26 and MA-50 at ₩1,516.39 on the hourly chart, as well as well above the MA-200 at ₩1,475.39 on the daily chart. The Ichimoku Kijun provides immediate support at ₩1,511.73. Momentum indicators reveal mixed signals: MACD and ADX both show strong selling pressure, while RSI stands at 48.5—near neutral but with a slight bearish inclination. Stoch RSI is neutral, CCI signals a buy, and BBP registers as overbought, highlighting a divergence among oscillators and suggesting buyer dominance intraday despite bearish momentum reads.

Downside risk elevated as bearish momentum outweighs consolidation bias

Over the next two trading days, the projected price band for USD/KRW is ₩1,510.39 to ₩1,525.57 based on typical volatility relative to current levels. The baseline expectation is for price consolidation within this range. A bullish scenario would require a decisive breakout above resistance, while a bearish scenario envisions a move below immediate support at the Kijun level; the latter remains significantly more probable given current momentum.

Anton Kharitonov, analyst at Traders Union, notes that USD/KRW remains technically supported, trading above its major moving averages. However, he sees strong selling momentum in key indicators and highlights a lack of supportive news. Kharitonov believes further gains are unlikely unless resistance is decisively broken. "Given the mixed signals and current momentum, I remain cautious and anticipate price consolidation or a move lower toward ₩1,511.73 support."

Earlier, analysts noted that continued regulatory oversight and persistent—but mixed—technical momentum were supporting a constructive bias for USD/KRW, though with rising two-way trading risks. The latest developments add new context by highlighting near-term downside risks driven by bearish momentum signals, making a break below immediate support at ₩1,511.73 the key scenario for traders to monitor.
