According to Shahr -e- Bours, Dollar trading on Monday is of vital importance. Tomorrow, January 5, is the first working Monday of 2026, and the Dubai market—which acts as the main anchor for currency pricing in Iran—begins operations at full capacity. In recent days, due to the January holidays, the Dirham remittance rate saw little fluctuation, leaving the Tehran Dollar in a state of limbo. However, tomorrow, once the opening rate of the Dirham is revealed, the path for the Dollar in Sabzeh Meydan will become clear.

Analysts believe that the price spring has been compressed slightly during the holidays. If the UAE Dirham opens with a positive gap (price increase) tomorrow morning, the Tehran Dollar has the potential to break previous ceilings and cross the 141,000 Toman border. Conversely, if the market maker can manage the supply of Dirhams at the serious start of the new year, the Dollar will be forced to retreat to the 139,000 Toman channel.

From a technical standpoint, the Dollar behaved cautiously on Sunday, and speculators refrained from heavy trading. Tomorrow, however, is the day “big money” enters. Commercial traders who waited for the end of the holidays will enter the market to buy currency, and this increased demand could raise the price floor.

Forecast for Jan 5, 2026: It is predicted that tomorrow, unlike previous days, the Dollar market will be volatile and see high volume. Rate setting will likely begin around 11 AM with the arrival of the Dirham rate, and market excitement will peak in the middle of the day. Traders are advised not to trade in the early morning hours (before 11 AM) when prices are not yet stabilized and may be “off-market,” but rather to wait for the Dirham’s direction.
