USDPLN Technical Analysis – 14-October-2024
The U.S. dollar trades bullish against the Polish Zloty at approximately 3.932. The currency pair tested the 50-period simple moving average, neighbors the September 12 high at 3.91. Consequently, the price pulled back from 3.91, but for the uptrend to continue, the USD/PLN value must exceed the October 7 high, the 3.947 mark.
- The Awesome oscillator bars are small and green, clinging to the signal line. This means the market is neither bullish nor bearish.
- The RSI 14 hovers above the median line, signaling divergence, which indicates that the trend might reverse or consolidate.
Overall, the technical indicators suggest the primary trend is bullish, but the USD/PLN’s trend might reverse or enter a new consolidation phase.
USDPLN Forecast – 14-October-2024
The immediate resistance is the October 7 high at 3.947. From a technical perspective, a new bullish wave could begin if bulls (buyers) close and stabilize the price above this mark.
If this scenario unfolds, the next bullish target could be the August 8 high at 3.957.
USDPLN Bearish Scenario
The immediate support lies at the September 12 high, the 3.91 mark, slightly below the 50-period simple moving average.
If bears (sellers) push the price below the 3.91 support, the consolidation phase from 3.947 could extend to the 100-period SMA at 3.88, further backed by the September 3 High.
