Highlights

USD/UZS shows a short-term bullish bias as it trades above key short moving averages but remains below long-term resistance.
Technical momentum is mixed with weak trend signals and overbought intraday conditions, highlighting market indecision.
Forecast projects a sideways range between ₮11,930.56 and ₮12,165.26 over five days, with a higher likelihood of further decline than breakout.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees the USD/UZS showing conflicting signals. The price is above short-term moving averages, yet it stays below the MA-200, confirming that long-term weakness persists. Oscillator data remains mixed and the ADX's low reading warns of a fragile trend. Absence of supportive news further reduces conviction for buyers and raises risk for bulls. He warns, "Until we see a shift in longer-term momentum or constructive news, traders should remain defensive and avoid chasing intraday rallies."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, highlights that USD/UZS retains a promising technical structure. He acknowledges the short-term upside and suggests the pair is well-positioned for further gains if resistance at ₮12,092.15 is cleared. Macro conditions may unlock additional opportunities as the market maintains constructive intraday momentum. "Bullish structure remains intact despite recent volatility — I expect buyers to capitalize if price action confirms above the MA-200 level," he states.

Mixed momentum as intraday gains clash with bearish signals

USD/UZS is trading above both the MA-20 (₮12,002.96) and MA-50 (₮12,033.57), but remains below the MA-200 (₮12,092.15), indicating a short-term bullish bias with longer-term bearish pressure still in place. The nearest dynamic support is provided by the Ichimoku Kijun at ₮12,025.72, while resistance is seen at the MA-200 level.

Momentum signals are mixed: the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) on D1 shows strong downward momentum, but the Average Directional Index (ADX) remains very weak at 7.84, pointing to a lack of strong trend. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 46.64, slightly bearish, while the Stochastic RSI and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) are both neutral on the daily timeframe. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) is positive and in overbought territory (27.61), meaning buyers are in control of intraday momentum with an overbought signal present. The pair is up 0.51% today, posting a gain of ₮61.73, having gapped down by about ₮10.62 at the open. Price is trading near the top of today's range, with moderate intraday volatility at 0.78%. This points to continued strength toward the highs after an initially weaker open. There is a clear divergence between short-term bullish price action and the downward momentum shown by the main oscillators, reflecting ongoing uncertainty about trend resolution.

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/UZS was exhibiting limited upside potential with a bias toward sideways movement amid mixed technical signals and macroeconomic influences. The current analysis builds on that outlook by emphasizing a heightened risk of renewed downside pressure, making the ₮11,930 support level crucial for gauging whether further declines will extend in the coming days.
