USD/KRW remains pressured, with multiple technical indicators confirming a bearish outlook and a high probability of prices consolidating between ₩1,498.60 and ₩1,513.66 in the near term.

Federal Reserve reference rates drive capital flows and valuation

Updated figures on U.S. Treasury yields and interest rates as of June 12, 2026 were published by the Federal Reserve Board, providing key reference data for market participants. These updates, which include the effective federal funds rate and yields across various Treasury maturities, directly impact the valuation of the US Dollar by shaping expectations for returns on dollar-denominated assets. According to the Federal Reserve Board, the volume-weighted federal funds rate calculation and associated yield data serve as a benchmark for currency markets and influence capital flows between the US Dollar and South Korean Won.

Oversold readings deepen as downside momentum gains control

On the hourly timeframe, USD/KRW is below the MA-20 and MA-50, while on the daily chart it remains above the MA-200. Immediate resistance is defined by the Ichimoku Kijun at ₩1,515.19, and support is found near ₩1,498.60. MACD is on a Sell signal, while ADX indicates a neutral trend. RSI stands at 35.62, signaling oversold conditions, accompanied by a similarly oversold reading on the Stoch RSI. CCI and Bull/Bear Power (BBP) also indicate the market is oversold with sellers in control. The Awesome Oscillator confirms momentum skewed to the downside.

Downside risks dominate as rebound prospects weaken

For the next two to three trading sessions, USD/KRW is expected to remain in a typical volatility band between ₩1,498.60 and ₩1,513.66. There is a high probability that downside momentum will persist, while a sustained rebound appears unlikely in the near term. The baseline scenario is for price consolidation within these levels. A bullish case would require a move above the immediate Kijun resistance at ₩1,515.19, while a break below ₩1,498.60 would reinforce the bearish scenario.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees the dominant bearish bias in USD/KRW as well-supported by technical evidence. He notes that updated U.S. Treasury yields and interest rates reinforce pressure on the dollar amid weaker demand. The analyst points to oversold indicators as a warning but does not expect an immediate reversal without a clear catalyst. "Base case remains consolidation within ₩1,498.60 and ₩1,513.66 — until upside resistance at ₩1,515.19 is broken, I remain cautious on any rebound attempts."

Earlier, analysts noted that while USD/KRW faced seller pressure in the short term, the broader outlook favored consolidation with a potential bullish bias pending further signals. The latest market action, underscored by updated U.S. yield data and stretched oversold readings, shifts the focus to downside momentum and highlights that a clear move below ₩1,498.60 would reinforce the prevailing bearish scenario for traders to monitor.
