Highlights

USD/PLN sustains a bullish trend, trading above major moving averages across short and long-term periods.
Momentum and oscillator indicators confirm strong buying pressure, but overbought conditions and intraday profit-taking signal corrective risks.
Expected five-day price corridor is zł3.752 to zł3.813, with over 80% probability of an upside continuation barring a drop below zł3.7806.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, observes that the USD/PLN retracement exposes the pair's vulnerability despite strong momentum. He notes that overbought technical readings are being ignored by an aggressive bullish bias, but sellers remain active. Kharitonov expresses concern that the persistent lack of supportive news leaves the move dependent on technicals. He warns that the extended rally above multiple moving averages may exhaust itself without fresh catalysts. In his view, "Chasing upside at current levels carries higher risk, especially with key indicators flashing overbought and no fundamental narrative to sustain the rally."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees that the bullish structure for USD/PLN remains intact. He notes strong technical alignment and upward momentum across all timeframes, creating attractive setups for further growth. The high probability scenario favors a move toward zł3.813 or higher, with buyers firmly in control. He emphasizes that the current correction is orderly and does not challenge the trend. Karapetjanc states: "With momentum and structure this solid, I expect further upside as the market continues to reward bullish positioning."

Overbought signals intensify while intraday bias turns corrective

USD/PLN trades above its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages (zł3.7613, zł3.6993, zł3.6391), confirming bullish sentiment across short, medium, and long-term trends. The near-term ceiling is zł3.8061 and the floor is zł3.7806, with the overall trend also supported by the Ichimoku Kijun at zł3.7267 and a bullish MA-50 vs MA-200 alignment. Momentum is strong, with the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Average Directional Index (ADX) both signaling a buy. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 72.67 and the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) at 177.99, both pointing to overbought territory. The Stochastic RSI also registers 100, flagging overbought conditions. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) at 0.0377 confirms buyers are dominating intraday momentum, with the Awesome Oscillator (AO) supporting the prevailing upward tone. The pair has slipped zł0.0217 or 0.57% for the day, opening nearly flat and now trading near the low of the session. Intraday volatility stands at 0.67%. The tone after the open is corrective, with profit-taking pressure evident despite the underlying momentum indicators remaining bullish and overbought.

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/PLN had shifted to a more neutral technical posture as momentum signals diverged, with consolidation expected in the near term. The current article strengthens the bullish outlook with fresh evidence from overbought momentum indicators and sustained support at key moving averages, making a decisive break above the zł3.8061 resistance the critical level to watch for a potential upside extension.
