- The USD/INR charted a bearish outside-day last Thursday, signaling a temporary bullish exhaustion. The negative follow-through on Friday confirmed a bearish reversal.
- The relative strength index (RSI) charted a lower high in response to higher high in the USD/INR, meaning the indicator has diverged in favor of the bears.
- The MACD produced a bearish crossover on Friday and is now signaling that the bearish momentum is about to gather pace.
- As a result, the gains in the USD/INR seen today could be short-lived. The pair could drop to support of the rising trendline from the August low, currently seen at 73.38. A daily close below that level would allow a deeper pullback to 72.00-71.52 (Sept. 14 low).
