As illustrated, the price of USD/INR has revisited the trendline breakout area and is now at a critical juncture from which structure would be expected to act as support in the near term.

Subsequently, the price would be anticipated to correct higher prior to the next impulse to the downside. The 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level is compelling near to 74.80 where it meets a prior support area established in late November.
