- The USD/ILS is near the 3.75400 level as of this writing which is within the higher elements of its one week and monthly technical realms.
- The currency pair certainly has also shown the ability to reverse lower, but it’s the rather consistent upwards traction the USD/ILS is making while pressing up against important resistance levels.
- This demonstrates financial institutions are rather nervous about the value of the Israeli Shekel.
News flow domestically in Israel remains full of bluster and economic conditions are challenging as Israel deals with its war situation. While this is certainly a reason for financial institutions to be nervous regarding outlook for the USD/ILS, it must be added that the high for the currency pair seen last Friday around the 3.76400 level did not last long and the apex did not topple highs seen in the first week of June.
USD/ILS Resistance and the Potential of Lower Moves
While resistance has proven rather durable above, support levels have also been rather productive for technical traders. The 3.71000 level appears to be an important psychological level below. And the ability of the USD/ILS to remain within a known range the past handful of days has led to an opportunity to test the technical values.
Today’s economic data from the U.S will be important. The Gross Domestic Product reports containing growth and inflation statistics will certainly move Forex. There is also a shadow being cast by the upcoming Presidential debate tonight between Biden and Trump, which may impact financial markets if something extraordinary happens. Tomorrow the U.S will release Core PCE Price Index data, this inflation report is a crucial tool for the U.S Federal Reserve. Forex would be affected if surprises are delivered. Lower U.S inflation could spark selling of the USD/ILS going into the weekend.
USD/ILS Near-Term Potential
The higher elements of the USD/ILS currency pair have certainly been tested this week, but resistance has proven rather strong. It appears financial institutions are waiting on impetus to move the currency pair out of its existing price range, today and tomorrow’s U.S data could cause this to happen. However if the data meets expectations a continued test of the known price realms may be the simple result.
- Traders should be ready for the potential of volatility today and tomorrow in the USD/ILS based on the outcome of the U.S inflation reports.
- For moves lower in the USD/ILS to take hold, sustained trading below the 3.71000 ratio will have to occur before solid bearish positions are added by speculators, and weaker inflation results in the U.S would likely have to be the reason for this price action.
USD/ILS Short Term Outlook:
Current Resistance: 3.75625
Current Support: 3.75230
High Target: 3.76540
Low Target: 3.72300
