USD/INR: Bull breakout ahead of Fed policy meet

  • USD/INR is looking north, having witnessed a bullish breakout on Jan. 18.
  • Hawkish Fed could drive the pair above 72.00

The USD/INR pair jumped 0.46 percent on Tuesday, putting the focus back on the falling wedge breakout confirmed on Jan. 18.

Put simply, the bulls look to have regained control ahead of the FOMC rate decision. The US central bank is widely expected to keep rates unchanged.

The pair could rise well above 72.00 by the end of the week if Fed’s Powell downplays recent reports of central bank planning to end its quantitative tightening program sooner-than-expected.

The rupee could also come under pressure if the Indian government gives a populist budget on Friday.
