US Dollar vs Israeli Shekel rises over 1% as technical momentum fuels gains
US Dollar vs Israeli Shekel (USD/ILS) advanced 1.26% in a strong bullish session, driven by robust technical momentum and persistent buying pressure rather than fresh news catalysts. The current up move is supported by near- and medium-term strength above short-term moving averages, although the broader downtrend limits upside conviction.
Highlights
- USD/ILS maintains bullish short- and medium-term momentum, trading above near-term moving averages while long-term trend remains bearish.
- Momentum indicators broadly support further gains with strong buying pressure and constructive readings, though some oscillators indicate near-term overextension.

Short-term gains persist while long-term resistance caps upside
USD/ILS trades above its 20-day and 50-day moving averages (₪2.9722 and ₪2.9256), but remains below the 200-day (₪3.0657). This configuration highlights ongoing bullish momentum in the near and medium term, contrasted with a bearish long-term trend. Immediate resistance sits at ₪3.0343, and near-term support aligns with the week high at ₪3.016. Broader trend bias remains subject to the 200-day average.
Earlier, analysts noted that bullish momentum in USD/ILS was constrained by lingering long-term resistance. The latest market action further validates this view, with traders now closely monitoring for a breakout above key resistance to confirm a potential shift in the broader trend trajectory.
