Highlights

USD/ILS shows firm short- and medium-term bullish momentum, while the long-term bias remains bearish.
Key resistance is at ₪3.0305 and support at ₪3.016, with the pair trading near session highs.
Forecast sees consolidation between ₪3.004 and ₪3.0515 over the next 5 days, with 68% odds favoring upside.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees technical momentum supporting USD/ILS, but the pair's failure to clear its 200-day MA tempers confidence. Kharitonov notes that the bullish impulse relies primarily on indicator strength, with persistent risk of reversal if buyers cannot sustain control. The absence of fundamental or news-driven drivers leaves current gains potentially vulnerable to market shifts. He highlights that the conflict between oscillators and trend signals suggests instability. "Traders should remain cautious, as any drop below ₪3.004 would quickly erase recent optimism," he warns.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees robust technical signals and a strong buying trend forming for USD/ILS. He points to healthy momentum averages and resilient sentiment, with price action staying above key support levels. The bullish structure remains intact, offering opportunities for further upside towards ₪3.0515 if resistance at ₪3.0305 breaks. Karapetjanc adds that consolidation above ₪3.02 sets an optimistic baseline scenario. "Further growth is likely, and the market offers multiple setups for proactive traders," he says.

Short-term bullish momentum as resistance caps broader upside

USD/ILS trades above both the 20-day and 50-day moving averages (₪2.9722 and ₪2.9256), but remains below the 200-day MA (₪3.0657). This structure points to short- and medium-term bullish momentum, while the long-term trend still leans bearish. The nearest resistance sits at ₪3.0305, with the closest support at ₪3.016. Momentum signals are firm: the MACD and ADX both indicate buying strength. The RSI reads 58.58, in healthy territory, and the CCI is supportive too. Stochastic RSI shows short-term oversold conditions. Bull/Bear Power above zero confirms buyers are dominating intraday, reinforcing a buy signal. Conflicting signals from HMA (sell) and some oscillators show a modest divergence, but the daily move aligns with dominant buy momentum.

Earlier, analysts noted that policy-driven dynamics and mixed technical signals pointed to a cautious, range-bound outlook for USD/ILS. The current setup, marked by reinforced buying momentum and a greater probability of an upward move, suggests traders should monitor for a bullish breakout above ₪3.0305 as a potential catalyst for short-term gains.
