USD/INR Technical Analysis
USDINR Long term Projection: Bullish Swing
Monthly Chart
After a price collapse of about (-7.88%) from the Nov 11 ’18 open at 73.947, the USDINR signaled a pin-bar candlestick set up on July 01 ’19 setting sound support at 68.123, and consequently eroding the gains of the Indian Rupee.
Later, on Nov 01 ’19, the USD to INR rates closed above a bullish inside-bar resistance, and ready to skyrocket above the Sept 02 ’19 mother-bar at 72.424.
The July 01 ’19 support level will be a good reference point below, in which you can establish your stop loss level to target the 74.528 resistance level of Oct ‘18.
Weekly Chart
A bull trap price pattern on Aug 26 ’19, corrected the USD gains towards the 50-weekly Moving Average and has not been able to force a close below it, implying that the Greenback still has a stronger hold on the exchange rate.
The USDINR moves towards the MA-50 for the third time since it first touched it on Sep 23 ’19, and attempts to rally back to the upside after a collapse of double bullish support on Dec 09 ’19 (70.648).
A price close below the MA-50 would change the market outlook from bullish to bearish.
