Dollar demand sustained as Fed holds rates and carry trade remains

The US Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee kept its target federal funds rate unchanged at 3.50%–3.75% at its June 17 meeting, according to Usbank. By holding rates steady, the Fed preserves the prevailing interest rate differential, sustaining demand for the US dollar relative to the Thai baht through carry trade and liquidity channels. This decision continues to draw capital flow into the USD/THB pair, aligning with ongoing investor preference for dollar assets.

Bullish momentum confirmed as key technicals align above support

Technically, USD/THB remains above the MA-20 at ฿32.8392 and the MA-50 at ฿32.7512, with further distance to the MA-200 at ฿31.9417. The nearest support is defined by the Ichimoku Kijun line at ฿32.8461, while short-term resistance is set near ฿33.1104. Momentum analytics are robust: MACD signals a strong buy, ADX indicates a prevailing bullish trend, and RSI stands at 64.37. Stoch RSI and CCI both indicate strong buying interest, and BBP suggests buyers remain in control; AO is neutral and does not materially impact the technical consensus. There is no clear divergence among oscillators or trend indicators.

Further gains likely as resistance nears with low reversal risk

For the next two to three sessions, USD/THB is expected to trade within a typical range of ฿32.781 to ฿33.1104. There is a very high probability of a further upward move if the pair breaks above resistance near the top of this band, while a low likelihood exists for a material reversal unless it sustains a move below the Kijun support, which would signal a shift to a more bearish scenario. The base expectation is for ranging price action within these defined levels relative to current volatility.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees USD/THB underpinned by firm macro fundamentals and steady policy from the US Federal Reserve. He believes resilient carry and liquidity flows will keep supporting the pair as long as the rate advantage holds. Technical signals confirm the bullish undercurrent, with buyers clearly in control above key moving averages and indicators pointing to ongoing strength. Further gains toward ฿33.1104 are likely if positive sentiment persists. "As long as macro conditions and market flows align, I see strong potential for USD/THB to extend higher in the near term."

Earlier, analysts noted that the USD/THB pair was exhibiting a bullish bias, though momentum and trend signals were mixed and suggested caution pending a decisive breakout. The latest developments reinforce the bullish scenario, with improved technical alignment and sustained dollar demand indicating that a clear move above short-term resistance would signal the next directional advance to monitor.
