The Indian Rupee has not been able to sustain a full recovery of its rates as shown on major IQOption India platforms. This week we’ll be analyzing the chart patterns responsible for a price recoil, as well as interesting news events driving the USDINR currency pair.
India’s Fundamentals
India WPI (Wholesale Price Index) Inflation
The Indian WPI (Wholesale Price Index) measures the difference in the price of goods traded by wholesalers.
The higher the trade value, the stronger its effect on consumer inflation.
A reading higher than expected means a positive or bullish sentiment for the INR, while a reading lower than anticipated should be considered bearish or negative for the currency.
Data released recently on August 4 shows the actual reading to be 1.08%, while the previous value was 2.02%. Forecast value was pegged at 1.93%, suggesting a bearish inclination for the Indian Rupee.

USDINR Techincal Analysis
USDINR Long term Projection: Bullish Swing
USDINR: Weekly Chart
The USD to INR exchange rate increased by roughly 3.9% after a bullish engulfing price pattern on 26 July. We noticed a decline in bullish momentum as the price closed bearish towards the end of August, and later a bearish signal on September 02 ’19.
A price recoil was effected after the USDINR closed within the support zone (70.726) of the August 12 bullish pattern, threatening to form a bear trap reversal pattern at the close of the current week. If the bear-trap pattern gets triggered, we should lookout for a continuation of the bullish trend on the weekly time frame; otherwise, the bears may take over.
USDINR Medium Term Projections: Price Correction
USDINR Daily Chart
From the daily time frame, we get to see how the last two weeks wind up in bearish closing bars as the price chart formed higher highs compared to the lower highs formed by the RSI oscillator.
An opposite hidden bullish divergence pattern signaled at the closing bar of September 15, and 16 turn the earlier price decline into a mere correction of the USD gains.
USDINR 4HR Chart
A view from the 4hout time frame offers excellent low-risk short selling entry orders as the bears break below significant support on September 03 and 11 for a combined 1.9% from the first price slump.
Bullish activities picked up on September 16 from a break of resistance 71.034 as the price grew by about 0.8% from the breakout point before failing to bearish pressure from a hidden bearish divergence setup at press time.
Conclusion and Projection
The rollercoaster formation of bullish and bearish swings may persist as the days go by. We suggest traders be on a lookout for a combination of technical patterns taking advantage of swing trading opportunities to buy or sell the Indian Rupee.
