Demand sources shift as Fed flags challenges to dollar dominance

Governor Christopher J. Waller of the Federal Reserve delivered remarks at the institution's Fifth Conference on the International Roles of the U.S. Dollar, according to the Federal Reserve. Waller addressed how longstanding drivers of dollar dominance remain influential but face new challenges from distributed ledger technologies and stablecoins, which are enabling parallel channels for global dollar intermediation and cross-border capital movement. These comments highlight growing attention on sources of USD demand and international liquidity structure, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Momentum divergence emerges as resistance and mixed signals persist

USD/COP is trading below the MA-20 at COL$3,451, MA-50 at COL$3,449, and MA-200 at COL$3,692. The Ichimoku Kijun level at COL$3,447 serves as immediate resistance. Momentum indicators are mixed: MACD signals a buy, while ADX and AO are neutral. RSI reads 55.35 (Buy), Stoch RSI is a strong sell, and CCI is neutral. BBP shows overbought conditions, indicating intraday buyer dominance amid low volatility. These factors reflect a divergence between momentum and oscillators.

Rangebound outlook dominates as bullish break faces resistance

Over the next 2–3 trading days, USD/COP is likely to trade within a COL$3,398–COL$3,453 volatility band relative to current levels. The probability of an upward move stands at 60%, while chances for a decline are 40%. Under the baseline scenario, price remains rangebound within the identified corridor. A bullish outcome may emerge if price breaks above the immediate resistance at the Kijun level, whereas a move below COL$3,398 would shift the short-term scenario to the downside.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, Senior Analyst at Traders Union, believes USD/COP remains sensitive to international monetary discourse, especially with growing attention on distributed ledger technologies and stablecoins following Governor Waller’s remarks. He notes that fundamental support for recent USD flows is being tested by both macro and sentiment shifts, as prices trade below key moving averages and buyers dominate intraday moves. Karapetjanc sees a constructive setup as long as price holds above COL$3,398, with momentum indicators suggesting potential for a breakout if resistance at COL$3,447 gives way. "If the USD/COP sustains above immediate support, I expect renewed upside as structural drivers stabilize demand for the dollar."

Earlier, analysts noted that persistent bearish momentum and technical weakness were weighing on the USD/COP pair. The latest developments add a new dimension by introducing potential shifts in global dollar demand highlighted by Federal Reserve commentary, suggesting traders should closely monitor for a breakout above the COL$3,447 Kijun resistance as a signal of renewed upward momentum.
