Highlights

USD/COP trades below major moving averages, indicating persistent seller control across short-, medium-, and long-term trends.
Momentum indicators signal pronounced downside pressure, with multiple oversold readings reinforcing the bearish tone intraday.
Expected five-day trading range is COL$3,372 to COL$3,457, with over 80% probability of further downside unless COL$3,417 resistance is broken.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees continued technical weakness in USD/COP with sellers dominating all key timeframes. He points out that negative momentum and oversold signals are clearly reinforcing the bearish trend. The absence of supportive news flow further weighs on sentiment and weakens prospects for a sustained rebound. Kharitonov stresses that heavy price action and persistent downside gaps increase the risk of further declines. "Given the technical setup and missing positive catalysts, any upside attempt is likely to fail quickly unless the trend structure flips convincingly," he states.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, acknowledges the recent downside but maintains a constructive viewpoint for USD/COP. He notes that periods of technical oversold conditions can offer unique entry points for forward-looking traders. The analyst remains confident in the pair's ability to recover if buyers regain control above COL$3,417. Karapetjanc believes that the current market structure still allows for tactical bullish opportunities. "While volatility is high, strong rebounds can emerge rapidly — so a breakout above resistance could quickly restore upward momentum," he asserts.

Multi-timeframe bearish trend as technicals underscore seller control

USD/COP trades below its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day simple moving averages, with the current price at COL$3,414 lagging behind the MA-20 at COL$3,527, the MA-50 at COL$3,633, and the MA-200 at COL$3,690. The short-, medium-, and long-term trends remain under pressure from sellers, and the broader picture is reinforced by bearish MA-50 vs MA-200 alignment; the nearest resistance is the near-term ceiling at COL$3,417, while support is seen at the near-term floor of COL$3,403. Momentum signals are decisively negative: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is deep in sell territory at 27.6, and both MACD and Average Directional Index (ADX) confirm strong downside pressure. Additional oversold readings from Stochastic RSI, Commodity Channel Index (CCI), and Bull/Bear Power (BBP) underline seller dominance intraday, as BBP remains negative and flagged as oversold. Today, the pair fell COL$24.42 or 0.71%, opening with a downside gap of roughly COL$8.39 (about 0.24%), and is now trading near session lows with intraday volatility at 1.19%. The tone is heavy with persistent pressure from sellers since the open, confirming the alignment between momentum and price action.

Earlier, analysts noted that US Dollar vs Colombian Peso was under sustained bearish pressure, with technical signals reflecting a persistent downward bias amid shifting dynamics in global dollar flows. The current deep oversold conditions and strong momentum alignment further reinforce this negative outlook, with the main risk ahead being an accelerated decline if support at COL$3,403 fails to hold.
