USD/INR Technical Analysis: Bulls defeated by 50/100-DMA confluence

  • USD/INR steps back from a two-week high.
  • Recovery from 50% Fibonacci retracement rejected by the key DMAs.
  • A descending trend line since mid-November adds to resistance.

Given the confluence of 50 and 100-Day Simple Moving Averages (DMA) restrict near-term upside of the USD/INR pair. The quote declines to 71.07 during the pre-European session on Friday.

The quote now declines towards 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of July-September upside, at 70.95, while 50% Fibonacci retracement level and September month bottom, near 70.45 and 70.36 respectively.

Should prices fail to bounce off 70.36, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 69.92 will lure the bears.

On the contrary, the pair’s daily closing beyond 71.25/30 area could propel it to a short-term falling resistance line, at 71.63.

Though, a sustained break of 71.63 might not refrain from challenging 72.00 round-figure whereas November month high near 72.40 will be aimed then after.
