US Dollar vs Norwegian Krone drops 0.5%

Highlights

USD/NOK remains in a downtrend, trading below key short- and medium-term moving averages with no sign of near-term reversal.
Technical indicators show strong bearish momentum, with oscillators confirming oversold conditions and seller dominance intraday.
A further drop is likely unless support at kr9.6975 holds; expected trading range is kr9.6975 to kr9.7949 over the next two days.

Mixed momentum amid resistance near Kijun and oversold indicators

The pair currently trades below the 20-day and 50-day moving averages but remains above the 200-day moving average. Immediate resistance is defined by the Ichimoku Kijun at kr9.7819, while support forms near kr9.6975. Momentum indicators present a mixed short-term outlook: the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Average Directional Index (ADX) are both neutral, whereas the Relative Strength Index (RSI) signals a Sell bias at 38.3. Both the Stochastic RSI and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) show oversold conditions. The Bull/Bear Power indicator highlights active seller dominance intraday, while the Awesome Oscillator (AO) registers a negative reading, further aligning with underlying sell pressure.

Continued downside risk as rebound attempts face resistance

For the next 1–2 trading days, the anticipated price range for USD/NOK is between kr9.6975 and kr9.7949, reflecting a volatility band relative to current levels. The probability of an upward move remains very low, while the chance of continued downside is high. Bounces are expected to be short-lived unless the pair can reclaim resistance near kr9.7819, with a breakdown below kr9.6975 likely to prompt further declines. Consolidation within this corridor remains the baseline scenario.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees USD/NOK under short-term pressure as technical signals lean bearish. The analyst notes absence of supportive news and observes sellers dominating below resistance at kr9.7819. Downside risk remains high if the pair fails to reclaim this level. "Until USD/NOK can close above kr9.7819, I remain cautious and expect any bounces to be quickly sold."

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/NOK was supported by longer-term bullish momentum despite facing near-term technical resistance and mixed indicator signals. The latest shift toward prevailing seller dominance and oversold conditions points to increased downside risk, making a decisive move below kr9.6975 the critical level for confirming further weakness.
