Highlights

USD/ILS shows short- and medium-term upward momentum despite remaining within a bearish long-term trend.
Technical indicators signal strong buyer dominance, but ADX neutrality suggests the rally lacks strong trend conviction.
Expected near-term range is ₪2.9089–₪2.9533, with 65% probability of further upside unless support at ₪2.9207 breaks.

Bullish signals prevail as price approaches resistance amid weak trend

On the technical front, USD/ILS has crossed above the MA-20 (₪2.9187) and MA-50 (₪2.9149) on the H1 chart, while remaining notably below the long-term MA-200 (₪3.0892). The Kijun level (Ichimoku) at ₪2.9207 acts as immediate support. Key oscillators including MACD, RSI, CCI, Stoch RSI, BBP, and the Awesome Oscillator all signal buy or strong buy, with ADX reading neutral, indicating the upward move lacks strong trend strength. BBP highlights pronounced buyer control intraday amid low daily volatility, and price currently trades near session highs, with a small negative gap from the open.

Upward bias persists as breakout risks shape short-term outlook

Looking ahead, the anticipated trading band over the next 2–3 sessions is ₪2.9089 to ₪2.9533, reflecting typical volatility at current levels. Probabilities favor continued upward movement, with the likelihood of further downside at just 35%. The baseline scenario sees price consolidating between immediate support and intraday resistance; a push above the range top would confirm bullish extension, while a drop below ₪2.9207 could set up a deeper retracement.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees the USD/ILS pair holding a firm intraday uptrend, supported by bullish technical signals and persistent buyer activity. He notes price trades above key short- and medium-term moving averages, but that broader momentum is restrained by the MA-200 ceiling. The analyst expects the pair to trade within a well-defined range, with upside breakout potential outweighing downside risk near term. According to Karapetjanc, "I remain positive on USD/ILS as long as intraday support holds — the probability of a bullish continuation is clearly dominant here."

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/ILS was facing mixed momentum signals, with short-term bullish bias tempered by lingering medium- and long-term resistance. Now, a broad alignment of key technical indicators on buy and strong buy signals validates the bullish scenario, making a breakout above near-term resistance a pivotal level to watch for further upside extension.
