Immediate resistance is defined by the Ichimoku Kijun at zł3.7684. Momentum indicators signal prevailing bearishness, with the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) on a Sell signal, Average Directional Index (ADX) remaining neutral, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 35.5, also suggesting a Sell. The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is oversold, while Stochastic RSI is neutral, pointing to potential short-term exhaustion, though confirmation of a reversal is lacking.

Further downside favored as resistance and volatility cap upside
Over the next two or three trading days, USD/PLN is expected to fluctuate within a typical volatility band between zł3.7189 and zł3.7602. Probability for an upward move stands at 30%, while the likelihood of a further decline is higher. The baseline scenario calls for continued sideways trading within the highlighted range. However, a clear break above immediate resistance could trigger a technical rebound, whereas a decisive move below support may open the door for additional downside.
Earlier, analysts noted that persistent bullish momentum and sustained technical strength had been supporting a positive outlook for USD/PLN. The latest developments now signal a shift toward downside risk, with price action and indicators pointing to a more cautious stance; traders should monitor for a potential break below long-term support, which could open further downside in the near term.
