USD/TRY is trading at 48.1327 (+0.04%), pressing against all-time highs as the lira’s structural weakness persists. The pair remains firmly in an uptrend, trading above both the 20-day (47.7220) and 50-day (47.1784) SMAs, with the ascending dynamic channels confirming bullish momentum. The nearest dynamic resistance stands at 48.1841 (+0.14%, 513.5 pips above current), while dynamic support sits at 47.8190 (-0.62%, 3137.1 pips below) in the 20-day channel. The 50-day channel shows a similar ascending structure, with resistance at 48.1774 (+0.13%, 446.5 pips away) and support at 47.7547 (-0.75%, 3780.0 pips lower). Static levels show immediate resistance at R1 (48.0997, -0.07%, 329.7 pips below) and support at S1 (47.9188, -0.44%, 2139.1 pips lower).

The RSI at 82.1 signals extreme overbought conditions, suggesting near-term exhaustion risks, though Turkish lira selloffs have historically defied conventional momentum indicators due to entrenched depreciation expectations. With the pair testing the upper bounds of both dynamic channels and static resistance, a pullback toward 48.00 could materialize if profit-taking emerges. However, the broader ascending channel and lack of meaningful policy intervention favor continued upside. A decisive break above 48.1841 would open the path toward 49.00, while failure to hold 47.9188 could trigger a test of dynamic support near 47.8190. The next catalyst is Turkey’s August inflation print—any upside surprise could accelerate lira weakness given the central bank’s limited credibility.
