Investor expectations for a dovish National Bank of Poland shift have reduced Zloty support and boosted USD/PLN demand.
Less tightening expected from the ECB and Fed may help limit external pressure on the Zloty, partially offsetting local concerns.
USD/PLN maintains a bullish bias with spot near zł3.7696; technicals indicate high probability of consolidation or further gains within zł3.7508–zł3.7884.

Dovish Polish policy shift boosts dollar preference amid easing ECB, Fed outlook

Investor concerns about a more dovish policy direction from the National Bank of Poland have emerged as a central factor shaping sentiment towards the Polish Zloty, according to Tradingpedia. This outlook reduces market expectations for future rate hikes, softening the currency's support from local monetary policy and contributing to a preference for the US Dollar within the USD/PLN pair. Meanwhile, the European Central Bank and Federal Reserve's reduced probability of further policy tightening may help reduce external headwinds for the Zloty, offering some balance to current pressures.

Buyer momentum persists as mixed oscillators temper trend strength

Technically, USD/PLN is trading above the MA-20 and MA-50 on the H1 chart, with the MA-200 also trending below. The nearest Ichimoku Kijun support sits at zł3.7557. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) signals a buy, while the Average Directional Index (ADX) remains neutral, indicating only moderate trend strength. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is in the buy zone, Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is overbought, and Stochastic RSI is neutral, suggesting that while buyers dominate intraday, there is risk of a short-term pullback. Positive Bull/Bear Power and Awesome Oscillator values add evidence of buyer presence, though mixed oscillator readings introduce caution regarding momentum sustainability.

Consolidation expected with bullish bias unless support gives way

Over the coming two to three trading days, USD/PLN is expected to consolidate within the zł3.7508 to zł3.7884 corridor, reflecting typical volatility. The most probable scenario is continued movement inside this range, with a strong bias for further gains if resistance is breached. A bullish extension would open the way to higher price levels, while a drop below immediate support at zł3.7557 may prompt a corrective pullback, although the likelihood of a downward scenario remains low.

Anton Kharitonov, analyst at Traders Union, sees ongoing concerns about the National Bank of Poland's dovish direction weighing on the Zloty, while major central banks’ pause in tightening helps cap further losses. He notes the technical setup favors buyers in the short term, but mixed momentum signals and the risk of a pullback argue for caution. Base case is a rangebound move between zł3.7508 and zł3.7884, with limited probability of a strong breakout in either direction. "Until zł3.7884 is cleared or zł3.7557 fails, I remain cautious and see no compelling setup for aggressive positioning here."

Earlier, analysts noted that while USD/PLN maintained a broadly bullish technical setup, there were emerging signs of caution due to mixed momentum signals. The latest developments reinforce this cautiously positive outlook, but with monetary policy sentiment and shifting global central bank dynamics now in play, traders should closely monitor for any sustained move beyond the upper boundary of the current consolidation corridor as a potential catalyst for renewed directional momentum.
