Highlights

USD/COP trades firmly below all major moving averages, reflecting entrenched downside momentum and sustained bearish trend conditions.
Momentum and strength indicators signal pronounced oversold conditions, yet sellers remain in control with no sign of a reversal.
Expected five-session range is COL$3,388.19 to COL$3,457.40, with a breakout above COL$3,457.40 needed to shift sentiment bullish.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees the USD/COP trading well below major moving averages, confirming broad and persistent selling. He notes that technical indicators from momentum to oscillators signal strong bearishness, with oversold readings failing to trigger a reversal. The analyst emphasizes that the ongoing downward trend is reinforced by the lack of any supporting news or fundamental drivers for a rebound. He warns that even the modest intraday uptick does not offset the prevailing downside momentum. "Technical structure is very weak, and any short-term bounce is unlikely to turn into a meaningful recovery for USD/COP," Kharitonov concludes.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, acknowledges the persistent selloff in USD/COP but highlights opportunity in potential volatility reversals. He sees deeply oversold sentiment and substantial technical divergence as setting the stage for active traders to monitor a breakout above COL$3,457.40. Karapetjanc suggests that despite the dominant bearish trend, the market environment may soon offer tactical long setups if a reversal signal emerges. "Bullish setups could build quickly if price reclaims COL$3,457.40 — traders should stay alert for a shift in technical momentum," states Karapetjanc.

Oversold signals diverge from subdued momentum as downtrend persists

USD/COP remains well below all major moving averages, with the current price of COL$3,455.18 under the MA-20 (COL$3,579.16), MA-50 (COL$3,645.91), and MA-200 (COL$3,699.52). This indicates persistent selling pressure across short, medium, and long-term trends. The nearest dynamic resistance is seen at the Ichimoku Kijun level of COL$3,618.67.

Momentum signals remain weak. Both the MACD and Average Directional Index (ADX) on the daily timeframe confirm a bearish bias. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), Stochastic RSI, and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) all point to clearly oversold conditions. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) is negative, indicating that sellers still dominate intraday momentum, and the indicator also signals oversold status. The Awesome Oscillator is in alignment with the ongoing downward trend. On the session, the pair is modestly higher at COL$3,455.18, up by 0.40% (COL$13.71), after opening with a downside gap of about COL$10.59. Price action sits in the upper part of today's range, with intraday volatility at 1.20%, suggesting renewed strength toward the highs after weakness post-open. The cluster of oversold readings contrasts with the subdued, persistent selling reflected by momentum indicators, highlighting divergence between deeply oversold conditions and the ongoing downtrend.

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/COP was experiencing a potential shift in market dynamics as buyers attempted to regain control following a sustained period of bearish pressure. The current setup reinforces the dominance of sellers, and with no key indicators pointing to a reversal, traders should closely monitor the downside risk of a persistent move below COL$3,388.19 in the sessions ahead.
