Fed rate hold and inflation outlook buoy dollar against peso

The US Federal Reserve has decided to keep the federal funds rate unchanged at 3.5% to 3.75%, affirming its current policy stance with a unanimous vote. This move maintains stability in US dollar funding costs and helps to preserve interest rate differentials between the US and emerging markets like Colombia, supporting the US Dollar vs Colombian Peso pairing. Additionally, the committee raised its year-end inflation forecast to 3.6%, highlighting ongoing price pressures that could influence expectations for future monetary policy adjustments.

Overbought signals emerge as buyer strength meets resistance

On the technical front, USD/COP is trading above the short-term SMA-20 and SMA-50 on the H1 chart, while remaining below the longer-term SMA-200. Immediate support is seen at the Ichimoku Kijun level of COL$3,450.81. Momentum indicators such as MACD and ADX reflect continued buyer strength, while RSI, Stoch RSI, CCI, and BBP all show overbought conditions intraday, raising the prospect of buyer exhaustion. The Awesome Oscillator is currently neutral, and price action is marked by low volatility and a small negative gap on the open.

Upward bias prevails as breakout risk outweighs downside

In the short term, USD/COP is likely to trade within a scenario range of COL$3,451.85–COL$3,503.03, reflecting typical volatility. There is a 73% probability of an upward move, with a potential breakout above COL$3,503.03 resistance in the more bullish case. Conversely, a downward scenario would develop if price drops below the COL$3,451.85 support level, but is less likely at this stage.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees the Fed’s stable rate policy and higher inflation forecast as key factors supporting the US Dollar’s strength over the Colombian Peso. He believes current macro conditions and steady funding costs are keeping the upward momentum intact. Technically, upward probabilities are strong unless immediate support at COL$3,451.85 fails. "With fundamentals and sentiment aligned, I expect USD/COP to remain buoyant and test higher levels in the short term."

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/COP was experiencing persistent selling pressure and bearish momentum despite signs of short-term oversold conditions. The current shift to an upward bias—supported by the pair holding above key short- and medium-term averages—signals that a sustained move above COL$3,503.03 resistance could pave the way for further gains if bullish momentum endures.
