USD/INR technical analysis: 4H 100MA, 23.6% Fibo. limit immediate upside

  • The USD/INR pair’s recovery from 68.25 falls short of clearing near-term key resistances, indicating momentum weakness.
  • 9-week old descending trend-line can question buyers past-68.91.

Unless breaking 100-bar moving average on the 4-hour chart (4H 100MA) and 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of May-July downpour, USD/INR pullback remains less significant as it trades near 68.77 heading into the European open on Wednesday.

Even if the pair manage to clear 68.80 and 68.91 levels, carrying aforementioned indicators, a 9-week old descending resistance-line stretched since mid-May around 69.40 could challenge buyers.

Though, pair’s rise past-69.40 enables it to aim for 70.00 psychological magnet.

On the flip side, 68.45 can act as close support before the latest low surrounding 68.25 regains market attention.

Also, pair’s sustained declines below 68.25 open the gate for fresh south-run to late-June 2018 bottom at 67.6850.

EUR/USD remains heavy near 1.1600 after hot EU inflation data

EUR/USD remains heavily offered near 1.1600, six-week lows, in the European session on Tuesday. The pair fails to find any inspiration from a surprise pick up in Eurozone inflation for February, as the US Dollar continues to attract safe haven flows amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

GBP/USD is deep in the red near 1.3300, accelerating its downside to renew three-month lows in European trading on Tuesday. The ongoing escalation in the Iran war, combined with rising Oil prices, weighs negatively on the higher-yielding Pound Sterling as the US Dollar capitalizes on increased haven demand.

Gold falls below $5,300 as stronger USD counter Middle East woes

Gold attracts some intraday selling and falls below $5,300 on Tuesday. The US Dollar climbs to a fresh high since January 20 and turns out to be a key factor exerting downward pressure on the commodity. However, concerns about a broader regional conflict in the Middle East continue to weigh on investors' sentiment and underpin demand for the traditional safe-haven bullion.
