Highlights

USD/NOK faces short-term selling pressure, trading below its 20-day average while maintaining support above longer-term moving averages.
Momentum indicators show mixed signals, with bullish MACD and ADX readings contrasting with an oversold Stochastic RSI and neutral oscillators.
Expect USD/NOK to trade sideways between kr9.6593 and kr9.7596 over the next week, with a 65% probability of an upward move.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees the USD/NOK pair under strain as technicals diverge and short-term momentum stalls. The lack of relevant news weakens sentiment and leaves the market susceptible to technical factors. He notes downward pressure below the 20-day moving average, with only modest support from the longer-term averages. Mixed momentum signals and narrow intraday buyer advantage highlight weak conviction. "Unless buyers break above kr9.7169, I expect choppy trading and remain cautious on USD/NOK in the days ahead."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, highlights that despite recent volatility, USD/NOK’s bullish structure remains intact above key moving averages. Strong medium- and long-term supports at kr9.5178 and kr9.6632 offer buyers multiple setups near current levels. With 65% probability favoring an upward move and robust momentum signals, he sees opportunity for further growth if resistance at kr9.7169 is breached. "Given positive technical alignment, I expect USD/NOK to stage another advance toward kr9.7596 this week."

Long-term moving average support offsets short-term selling pressure

USD/NOK trades below its 20-day moving average at kr9.7953 but above the 50-day and 200-day averages at kr9.5178 and kr9.6632, respectively. This technical pattern highlights short-term selling pressure, with medium- and long-term trends offering some support given the pair's proximity to longer-term moving averages. The price is currently negotiating a ceiling at kr9.7169 and finds support at the Ichimoku Kijun level of kr9.6975. Momentum indicators are mixed: both MACD and ADX suggest a buy, while RSI is neutral to positive at 54.93. Stochastic RSI points to oversold conditions and the CCI is near neutral. Bull/Bear Power is only slightly positive at 0.0001, suggesting buyers have only a narrow edge intraday amid renewed volatility.

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/NOK was exhibiting persistent bearish momentum amid oversold technical signals and elevated downside risk. The current setup, however, introduces a more balanced risk profile, making a decisive break above kr9.7169 or below kr9.6975 the key trigger for the next directional move.
