Investor confidence rises amid external flows and strong oil exports

The Colombian peso has appreciated against the US dollar due to external capital inflows, high international oil prices, and steady remittance flows. These trends are supported by increased interest from international investors in Colombia and a stronger export environment driven by favorable oil prices. Financial institutions note that both external and internal factors have contributed to this increased investor confidence.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that USD/COP remains under technical pressure despite recent international inflows and firmer oil prices supporting the Colombian peso. He sees the sustained trading below all major moving averages as a clear sign that sellers are dominating and downside risks continue to weigh heavily. Key momentum signals, including MACD, ADX, and an oversold RSI at 26.15, indicate the trend is far from exhausted. Kharitonov highlights that unless support at COL$3,418 gives way, new lows are likely, and any meaningful upside reversal seems remote for now. He remarks, "A persistent bearish structure with strong negative signals suggests traders should stay defensive and avoid premature bottom-fishing in this pair."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees the current USD/COP setup as a reflection of Colombia’s growing appeal to global investors and robust macro tailwinds from oil prices and remittance inflows. He believes that the peso’s strength is underpinned by positive sentiment and rising institutional participation, signaling a resilient market structure. Karapetjanc expects these underlying fundamentals to create new opportunities for continuation trades if the baseline range holds. He states, "With strong external and domestic drivers, the market offers multiple setups for those watching for reversals or follow-through beyond COL$3,446."

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, observes that the bearish momentum in USD/COP remains pronounced, with technical indicators pointing to extended selling pressure and little near-term relief. He points to the deep oversold readings and narrow trading range, suggesting quick sentiment-driven moves may emerge on news or global risk shifts. Short-term traders should focus on the band between COL$3,402 and COL$3,487, with risk of sharp volatility spikes. Turakhiya concludes, "Sideways action sets the tone, but reactive strategies near key levels offer dynamic setups for nimble participants."

Persistent technical pressure as bearish momentum and oversold signals deepen

USD/COP remains below the 20-, 50-, and 200-day moving averages (COL$3,514, COL$3,631, and COL$3,688 respectively), highlighting persistent pressure from sellers across all timeframes. The nearest support and resistance are found at COL$3,418 and COL$3,446, while the bearish alignment of the 50- and 200-day averages underscores a weak medium-to-long-term bias. Momentum signals remain firmly negative as the MACD and ADX both indicate strong selling, with the RSI deep in oversold territory at 26.15. Additional indicators, including the low Stochastic RSI, negative CCI, and negative Bull/Bear Power at -21.63, reinforce the dominance of sellers and point to elevated downside risk.

Earlier, analysts noted that the US Dollar vs Colombian Peso faced sustained bearish pressure amid increased capital inflows and supportive oil prices, which favored continued peso strength. The current outlook reinforces this bearish bias, with downside momentum prevailing and traders advised to monitor for a potential break below the COL$3,418 support as a signal for further declines.
