Highlights

USD/MYR remains below short- and medium-term moving averages, indicating persistent downward pressure in the short term.
Technical indicators such as MACD, ADX, and multiple oscillators show firm negative momentum, with intraday sellers retaining control.
Price is expected to consolidate between RM4.0413 and RM4.0819, with further downside risk if support fails and limited probability of an upside move.

Bearish momentum dominates as price holds above long-term support

On the technical side, USD/MYR continues to trade below both the MA-20 and MA-50 on the H1 timeframe, reflecting ongoing short- and medium-term downside pressure. The daily MA-200, however, remains intact below current price levels, serving as a long-term support marker. The immediate resistance for the pair is established by the Ichimoku Kijun level at RM4.0767. Momentum indicators such as MACD and ADX maintain a negative bias, while readings from RSI, Stoch RSI, and CCI remain in oversold territory, supporting the prevailing short-term bearish tone. Bull/Bear Power demonstrates ongoing seller dominance intraday, and the Awesome Oscillator direction aligns with the current sell signal.

Downside risk prevails as price consolidates within narrow band

Looking ahead, USD/MYR is expected to consolidate in the RM4.0413 to RM4.0819 range over the coming sessions. The probability of an upside move remains low, with the potential for further downside prevailing. A move above resistance at RM4.0767 would open room for upside extension, while a decisive drop below RM4.0413 would expose new downside risk beneath this support. The baseline outlook is for continued consolidation within the established volatility band, reflecting recently subdued price action.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that USD/MYR remains under pressure as key technical indicators flash a bearish signal. He sees consolidation dominating the near-term outlook, with sellers controlling the momentum as long as resistance at RM4.0767 holds. No positive catalysts are visible to shift sentiment for now. "As long as USD/MYR stays below the established resistance and technicals point lower, I remain defensively positioned with a preference for downside scenarios," Kharitonov says.

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/MYR was maintaining bullish momentum amid consolidation, with risks skewed to the upside barring major shifts in support. The current technical bias now underscores short-term downside pressure, making the response to the RM4.0413 support level a critical focal point for potential trend continuation or reversal.
