The USD/KRW currency pair is on the rise after crossing above the 200-day moving average, as noted by Société Générale’s FX analysis. We expect resistance levels at 1,445 and 1,454/1,457. The daily MACD shows a positive trend, indicating that this upward movement is likely to continue. There is short-term support near the 1410/1400 range, and if the pair stays above this zone, it could strengthen the upward trend further.

Usd Krw Upward Trend

The USD/KRW has confirmed a new upward trend after breaking above the 200-day moving average. This is a strong technical signal we’ve been observing, indicating that the consolidation period from late summer 2025 has ended. This shift suggests ongoing strength for the US dollar compared to the Korean won in the upcoming weeks. This momentum is backed by fundamental factors; recent data from the Korea Customs Service revealed a 5.2% drop in exports in September 2025, marking three consecutive months of decline. Meanwhile, inflation in the US continues to exceed 3%, which keeps the Federal Reserve from hinting at any rate cuts. This difference in policy is a key factor putting pressure on the won. For derivative traders, this situation favors strategies that benefit from a rising exchange rate. Buying USD/KRW call options with strike prices near the 1,445 resistance level could be advantageous. The 1,410/1,400 zone is an important short-term support level. Any positions should be cautious, as a drop below this area would weaken the case for further growth. We recall a similar situation in late 2022 when aggressive Federal Reserve policies pushed the pair toward the 1,440 level before it fell back. Current technical indicators, including a positive MACD crossover, suggest that similar strength is developing now. This historical pattern supports the idea that targets of 1,454/1,457 are within reach this time. Create your live VT Markets account and start trading now.
