Highlights

USD/ILS maintains bullish short- and medium-term momentum, trading above key moving averages but below the longer-term 200-day trendline.
Upside bias is confirmed by strong momentum indicators, but warning signals of overbought conditions suggest increased caution for new buyers.
Nearest resistance is at ₪3.0315, with weekly trading expected between ₪2.9723 and ₪3.0315 and a low probability of downside break.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees that USD/ILS remains hindered by the 200-day moving average and recent selling. He notes conflicting momentum — short-term buy signals contrast with longer-term resistance. The absence of relevant news leaves the pair exposed to technical pressures without a fundamental anchor. Overbought conditions add downside risk despite positive intraday sentiment. "Until USD/ILS overcomes ₪3.0315 with volume, traders should remain vigilant against false bullish signals."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, believes the bullish structure for USD/ILS remains intact. He points out robust technical momentum and strong buy signals from key indicators. Despite a lack of headline news, market sentiment still supports further growth. "I see multiple setups for upside continuation if the pair holds above ₪2.9998 — bullish momentum offers fresh opportunity."

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, highlights recent price dips and sideways behavior for USD/ILS. He sees traders eyeing breakouts at ₪3.0315 or breakdowns below ₪2.9723 amid a mildly positive bias. With momentum mixed and overbought risk emerging, he suggests caution. "This is a prime zone for short-term swing setups — I’d watch for quick reactions at key levels."

Bullish intraday signals persist despite long-term resistance pressure

USD/ILS is trading above its 20-day (₪2.9998) and 50-day (₪2.9395) moving averages, but remains beneath the 200-day (₪3.0597), signaling positive short- and medium-term structure with lingering longer-term pressure. The nearest resistance is at ₪3.0315, while support aligns with the 20-day moving average at ₪2.9998. The Ichimoku Kijun at ₪2.9686 confirms broader trend support farther below. Momentum signals are firm: the MACD is on a 'Strong Buy', the Average Directional Index is on 'Buy', and the Relative Strength Index sits at 61.7, suggesting a positive bias. Overbought conditions appear according to the Commodity Channel Index, and the Stochastic RSI is 34.5 with a 'Strong Buy' reading. Bull/Bear Power is positive at 0.0268, suggesting buyers dominate intraday momentum, even as the CCI flags an overbought risk.

Earlier, analysts noted that ongoing bullish momentum in USD/ILS remained hampered by persistent longer-term resistance. The latest developments reinforce this outlook, and traders should closely watch for a decisive move above the ₪3.0315 resistance, which could signal the start of a more sustained bullish phase.
