Highlights

USD/PLN maintains bullish momentum, trading above key moving averages and near today's high in a low-volatility market.
Short- and mid-term oscillators give mixed signals, with some showing continued upward momentum but others warning of a potential reversal.
Over the next few days, USD/PLN is expected to stay within the zł3.6565–zł3.6940 range, with a 65% probability of downside.

Technical support holds as short-term momentum diverges

On the hourly chart, USD/PLN trades above the MA-20 and MA-50, as well as above the long-term MA-200. The Ichimoku Kijun on the D1 timeframe is at zł3.6548, which now acts as immediate support. RSI stands at 55, with CCI and Bull/Bear Power (BBP) also favoring buyers. MACD continues to indicate upward momentum, while the ADX suggests a neutral level of trend strength. However, Stoch RSI signals a strong sell, indicating a loss of short-term upward momentum and a divergence from other oscillators.

Range-bound outlook amid breakout and breakdown risks

In the short term, price is likely to remain confined within the zł3.6565–zł3.6940 band, which represents a typical volatility range relative to current levels. The probability of an upward move to break above resistance stands at 35%, while there is a 65% chance of a decline below immediate support. The baseline scenario is for USD/PLN to continue ranging within this corridor, but a topside breakout may strengthen bullish momentum, whereas a sustained move below support would open the path for further declines.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees USD/PLN maintaining mild upside momentum as technical signals favor buyers despite a lack of supporting news. He remains cautious due to conflicting short-term indicators and the prevailing low-volatility environment. The currency pair is likely to stay within the zł3.6565–zł3.6940 band unless a breakout occurs. "Base case remains rangebound; unless zł3.6565 fails, I won't expect sustained downside," Kharitonov says.

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/PLN was situated in a consolidative phase, with mixed momentum signals highlighting the risk of an imminent breakout or breakdown. With the current move above multiple moving averages and diverging short-term oscillators, traders should watch for a shift in volatility as confirmation of direction will hinge on the next decisive move outside the prevailing trading corridor.
