USD/INR weekly chart

In 2019, USD/INR has been consolidating the 2018 bull run while trading above the 100/200-period weekly simple moving averages.

USD/INR daily chart

In the second part of December, the market formed a bear flag below the 71.60 resistance. A bearish break below the 71.20 support level can open the doors for a drop towards the 70.40 key support level. Then, if the sellers overcome 70.40, the market has room to fall to the 69.40 and 68.40 levels. Resistances can be seen near 71.60, 72.00 and 72.40 levels.
