KRW gained 1.47% vs USD this week — a clear short-term uptrend. If momentum holds, KRW may continue to strengthen.
The 7-day average rate is above the 30-day average — recent momentum favors KRW strengthening vs USD. Uptrends can persist, but watch for a mean-reversion pullback.
The rate is within the top 20% of its 30-day range — bullish short-term positioning. A break above the high could accelerate momentum.
RSI of 75 means KRW has risen fast relative to USD and may be overextended. RSI above 70 often precedes a pullback or consolidation — not a sell signal on its own, but a caution flag. Works best combined with other signals.

Historical KRW/USD Rates by Year
What drives the KRW/USD rate?
Whether you're converting KRW for travel, business, or investment, here's what drives the KRW to USD exchange rate. The KRW/USD exchange rate is determined by supply and demand in global currency markets, influenced by interest rate decisions from both central banks, economic data releases, inflation figures, and broader risk sentiment in financial markets. Trade flows between the two countries or regions also play an important role in long-term rate direction.
How to get the best KRW to USD rate
The rate shown above is the interbank mid-market rate — the real exchange rate used between financial institutions. Individual customers cannot access this rate directly. Banks typically add a 2–3% spread on top, meaning you receive significantly less than the rate shown.
Online transfer services like Wise offer rates very close to the interbank rate with a small transparent fee of 0.5–1%. On a $1,000 KRW exchange this typically saves $15–25 compared to a bank. Airport exchange booths charge the highest fees — often 5–8% above the interbank rate — and should be avoided for large amounts.
