US Dollar vs Korean Won drops 0.57%

Highlights

USD/KRW trades below short-term averages yet remains above the 200-period, reflecting persistent long-term support amid near-term pressure.
Mixed technical momentum—MACD bullish, oscillators bearish or neutral—warns of uncertainty and potential exhaustion at session lows.
Price is expected to range between ₩1,528 and ₩1,548 over 2–3 days, with downside bias unless resistance at ₩1,543 is breached.

Conflicting momentum signals as intraday resistance limits recovery

USD/KRW is trading below the hourly MA-20 at ₩1,544 and MA-50 at ₩1,543, but above the MA-200 at ₩1,478. The Ichimoku Kijun on the hourly chart is set at ₩1,543 and currently acts as immediate resistance. On momentum, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) provides a strong buy reading, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 44.87, indicating a sell signal. The Stochastic RSI is oversold, highlighting exhaustion in short-term selling. Both the Average Directional Index (ADX) and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) are neutral. Bull/Bear Power shows overbought conditions, and the Awesome Oscillator is neutral, suggesting no clear support for the current intraday downtrend.

Downside risk favored as trading band narrows near support

Looking ahead to the next two or three trading days, price action is expected to stay contained within the ₩1,528 to ₩1,548 range, reflecting typical volatility relative to current levels. The probability of an upward move stands at 45%, with a slightly higher likelihood of continued downward price action. A close above ₩1,543 would trigger a bullish scenario, whereas a break below ₩1,528 could open the way for further declines.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees USD/KRW anchored below short-term moving averages but supported by long-term trends. Indicators show mixed signals, with resistance overhead and momentum lacking clear direction. He notes that without supportive news or a decisive break, risks remain to the downside. "Until USD/KRW closes above ₩1,543, I stay defensive and watch for further weakness."

Earlier, analysts noted that strong bullish momentum was driving USD/KRW higher, with sustained technical strength supporting an ongoing uptrend. Recent price action now introduces a shift in sentiment, and traders should watch for a decisive move above ₩1,543 or below ₩1,528 to signal the next directional breakout.
