US Dollar vs Real up 0.57% today

Highlights

Rising US Treasury yields, with the 10-year at 4.5%, boost demand for USD assets and drive USD/BRL higher.
Brazil's Treasury canceled an inflation-linked bond auction, signaling reduced demand for long-duration local debt and weakening BRL support.
Despite intraday USD/BRL price strength, technicals indicate prevailing bearish momentum, with a projected range of R$5.1253 to R$5.2039 and a 67% probability of downward movement in the next 2–3 days.

Dollar strength builds as US yields climb and Brazil bond auction scrapped

The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note has risen to 4.5%, its highest in two weeks, drawing interest toward USD-denominated assets and providing a clear catalyst for USD/BRL gains, according to Tradingview. Parallel gains in US 2-year Treasury yields above 4.2% further increase the relative attractiveness of the dollar by enhancing short-term carry trade opportunities, as seen in Tradingview data. Additionally, the cancellation of a scheduled inflation-linked NTN-B auction by the Brazil Treasury, while maintaining floating-rate LFT bond sales as reported by Marketscreener, suggests a softening of demand for longer-term local currency debt and reduces near-term BRL support within the current market balance.

Mixed momentum persists as sellers pressure below MA-200 and key support

Looking at price levels, USD/BRL is holding above the MA-20 and MA-50 on the hourly chart, but remains below the MA-200, highlighting the importance of R$5.144 as the Ichimoku Kijun immediate support. The intraday technical picture reflects mixed signals: the MACD points to a sell, ADX is neutral, and both RSI and CCI indicate continued selling momentum. Stoch RSI registers in oversold territory, while BBP and the Awesome Oscillator align with prevailing seller pressure, signaling an ongoing negative undertone despite the current price strength.

Downside bias seen as consolidation favors bearish break below Kijun level

Over the next 2 to 3 sessions, the projected range for USD/BRL is R$5.1253 to R$5.2039, representing a typical volatility band relative to current levels. The most probable scenario is for the pair to continue consolidating within this corridor, with probability moderately favoring a move lower (67% down, 33% up). A bullish outcome could see price breaking out above the upper resistance near R$5.2039, while a bearish scenario would materialize if the pair slips below immediate support at the Kijun level around R$5.144.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees USD/BRL holding a firm posture due to rising US Treasury yields and limited support for the real. He notes that technicals look mixed, with selling momentum present despite strong price action. The analyst remains cautious and highlights downside risks if support near R$5.144 breaks. "Base case is range trading with a defensive tilt — as long as USD/BRL remains under pressure from mixed signals and macro headwinds, I'm not taking aggressive positions."

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/BRL was consolidating amid shifting global reserve allocations and prevailing selling pressure. The current environment of firmer US yields and cautious local bond issuance reinforces downside risks for BRL, making the pair's ability to hold above the Ichimoku Kijun at R$5.144 a pivotal factor to watch in coming sessions.
