Mixed momentum signals as sellers retain technical control

On the hourly chart, USD/ILS is trading below the 20-period, 50-period, and 200-period moving averages. The immediate resistance level is defined by the Ichimoku Kijun at ₪2.9993. Momentum signals remain mixed: the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows a strong buy signal, while the Average Directional Index (ADX) indicates a sell. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 41.7 and in sell territory. Both the Stochastic RSI and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) show oversold conditions. Bull/Bear Power points to seller dominance, while the Awesome Oscillator is neutral and does not confirm the bearish tone.

Near-term range as volatility and directional risks balance

Over the next two to three trading days, USD/ILS is expected to remain within a volatility band from ₪2.9718 to ₪3.0016. There is a 48% probability of an upward move and a 52% chance of further downside, with price action likely to remain contained in this corridor. A sustained break above immediate resistance at ₪2.9993 would support a bullish scenario, while a clean move below ₪2.9718 would open the way for further losses.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, analyst at Traders Union, sees USD/ILS in a technically pressured state with mixed signals dominating the short-term outlook. He notes the currency pair is moving sideways below critical moving averages, reflecting a lack of clear news drivers or strong sentiment shifts. While momentum remains split, Karapetjanc leans towards monitoring key resistance and support levels for the next decisive move. He believes bullish opportunities may arise if price breaks above ₪2.9993. "If the current consolidation resolves to the upside, I see increased potential for a constructive trend to develop above resistance," the expert says.

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/ILS was displaying short- and medium-term bullish momentum despite underlying longer-term bearish pressures. The current technical setup, however, introduces a more cautious outlook as momentum turns mixed and price remains capped by key resistance, with a break above or below the ₪2.9993–₪2.9718 range now likely to define the next direction.
