ILSUSD: Confirmation of Downtrend ReversalDisclaimer: This post is made only as an analysis of this currency pair, with no intent to express any opinion or commentary on the ongoing conflict.
The Israeli Shekel has been the strongest performing currency in the world so far in 2024, even gaining against the US Dollar.
And this is happening even as Israel is a country facing enormous uncertainty and challenges on multiple fronts.
Prior to the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023, there was already political turmoil around Netanyahu's judicial reform. He faced accusations of corruption that divided the country and hampered functions of government. Protests filled the streets. There was repeated gridlock in electing a government, and there were negative social and economic impacts. Rightfully so, the Israeli Shekel was in a prolonged downtrend against the US Dollar for years.
Since the attacks, Israel has entered a brutal war with enormous costs to civilian life, as well as Israel's global reputation, security and economy.
So why has the Shekel rebounded so quickly after the attacks, broken out of a multi-year downtrend, and actually been the strongest performing currency in 2024 so far?
Two reasons: 1) The Bank of Israel has stated an intention to maintain higher interest rates, while the US Federal Reserve has indicated an intention to lower rates in 2024. 2) Israel has been selling off foreign currency reserves in order to stabilize the Shekel.
How long can Israel continue selling foreign currency reserves? I didn't find the answer, but if you know or have a way to find out, please comment.
There may be other factors at play, such as covert assistance from the United States to boost the Shekel as part of financially supporting the conflict. We don't know for sure yet.
Technically, the chart points to Shekel strength ahead. The downtrend has now been broken to the upside and confirmed a retest. It's riskier due to the conflict, but the Shekel actually looks like a good play right now.
USDILS Long!Hi guyz!
I am bullish again in USDILS.
My previous scenario was quite good. But I didn't expect such a bull run to be caused by a tragedy and massacre. I am very sad about what happened to Israel.
Now I see a possible uptrend will continue in the next years. I think this will also be connected with destabilization and possibility of new war. You should always remember, that chart is showing future faster, that the future comes.
Be safe!
Cheers!
USD/ILSA monitoring idea for a call on the dollar
The Bank of Israel has started to lower its rates, despite everything the shekel has recovered against the greenback, it is quite bearish but there could be a support zone and it will depend on future macro events. In January when the rate cut took place the dollar increased to around 3.80 shekel per dollar but we must watch that there is not a sale of dollars by the Bank of Israel.
USDILS Chart IdeaThe chat shows that PEPPERSTONE:USDILS USDILS couldn't break the resistance at $4.08 area, resulted in a ~12% dump.
PEPPERSTONE:USDILS USDILS holds a big support (see white trendline), at January 02nd it touched the support and pumped.
In my opinion PEPPERSTONE:USDILS USDILS will continue an uptrend until meeting the resistance area again, which also depends a lot about the Israel-Hamas war.
Go Down, Moses.. To Let My Shekel Go... 😕Shekel drops to 4 against the dollar, in first since 2015.
Currency’s weakness comes as conflict rages, even after Bank of Israel announced plan to intervene in the foreign exchange market to try and contain sharp shekel FOREXCOM:USDILS moves.
The exchange rate of the New Israeli Shekel on Monday crossed the threshold of NIS 4 per dollar, the local currency’s weakest level since 2015, with Israel in its 10th day of conflict with the Hamas terror group.
Since the devastating massacre launched by Hamas on October 7 in Israel’s southern communities, in which more than 1,300 were killed, more than 4,000 injured, and some 200 kidnapped by terrorists, the shekel has dropped by about four percent against the US dollar.
Investor uncertainty over the duration and scope of the conflict has been growing in recent days, with the Israel Defense Forces gearing up for a ground operation to smash the terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip.
The currency’s weakness comes even as the Bank of Israel last week announced a plan to intervene in the foreign exchange market to try and moderate shekel volatility after the country formally declared a state of war. As part of the program, the central bank can sell up to $30 billion in foreign exchange to protect the shekel from collapse.
It was also introduced to “provide necessary liquidity for the continued proper functioning of the markets,” the Bank of Israel said.
Israel’s consumer price index (CPI), a measure of inflation that tracks the average cost of household goods, unexpectedly decelerated 0.1% in September, before Hamas’s unprecedented attack, figures by the statistics bureau.
Following the lower-than-expected September print, economists and market participants have started to price in an interest rate cut by the Bank of Israel as early as at its next monetary policy meeting on October 23, or even earlier, should it be necessary.
The September CPI index points to the fact that the economy was slowing even before the conflict broke out.
Meanwhile technical graph for FOREXCOM:USDILS says, U.S. dollar is about to break out major multi year resistance against shekel, where 4 shekels is a key to watch at the end of Q4'23.
USD/ILS Breaks Out to Push RSI Towards Overbought ZoneUSD/ILS may stage further attempts to test the January 2016 high (3.9888) as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) flirts with overbought territory.
USD/ILS Outlook
USD/ILS breaks out of the range bound price action from earlier this month to register a fresh yearly high (3.9842), and the exchange rate may track the positive slope in the 50-Day SMA (3.7899) as long as it holds above the monthly low (3.8046).
At the same time, a move above 70 in the RSI is likely to be accompanied a further advance in USD/ILS like the price action from earlier this year, with a breach above the January 2016 high (3.9888) bringing the April 2015 high (4.0200) on the radar.
Next area of interest comes in around the February 2015 high (4.0700), but failure to defend the monthly low (3.8046) may push USD/ILS back towards the 3.7940 (61.8% Fibonacci extension) area.
update on USD/ILSAn update the chart analysis have a high probabilty to go barrish trend but the primary analysis is more important the wednsday night the fed report will show up and from there the market trend will shown , Let us remember any sudden news inside Israel that may affect the direction of the market. In my view, we will have to wait a little until the end of the week. Whoever buys from below must secure an amount of what he bought.
U.S. Dollar / Israeli ShekelThe bullish channel was broken heading to test or local support in the short term at point 3.71?
This confirms the previous analysis, where I mentioned that the drop will be at 3.80
