USD/INR Price Analysis: Indian rupee drops the most since June as Russia roils sentiment

USD/INR takes the bids to refresh one-week high around 75.25, posting the biggest daily fall since June 2021 during early Thursday morning in Asia.

In doing so, the Indian rupee (INR) pair justifies the previous day’s Doji candlestick, as well as Monday’s bounce off 200-DMA and 23.6% Fibonacci retracement (Fibo.) of December-January fall.

Adding to the bullish bias is the pair’s latest upside break of the previous support line from January 12.

Above all, the US dollar’s rally on the back of the risk-aversion wave, triggered due to Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine, favors USD/INR buyers.

That said, the 61.8% Fibo. level of 75.50 becomes an imminent target for the USD/INR bulls ahead of the monthly peak surrounding 75.70.

On the contrary, a convergence of the 200-DMA and 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level near 74.40 becomes crucial support.

It’s worth noting that a daily closing below the previous support line near 75.12 may trigger consolidation of the recent gains.

EUR/USD drops below 1.1600 on broad USD strength

EUR/USD stays under bearish pressure and trades at a fresh six-week low below 1.1600 on Tuesday. Despite stronger-than-forecast inflation data from the Eurozone, the pair struggles to stage a rebound as the US Dollar continues to attract safe haven flows amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

GBP/USD attacks 1.3300, refreshing three-month lows

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 drops below $5,200 on stronger USD, rallying US yields

Gold attracts some intraday selling and falls below $5,200 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. Meanwhile, the benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond yield rises nearly 2% on the day, putting additional weight on XAU/USD's shoulders.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP pull back as sentiment remains in extreme market fear

The cryptocurrency market is broadly in the red on Tuesday as the Middle East grapples with an escalating war. Bitcoin (BTC) is in a pullback, trading below $67,000 at the time of writing, and most altcoins follow suit.

Middle East conflict ramps up a gear as energy price spike rips through markets

It’s another risk off day as geopolitical headwinds continue to batter financial markets. Although markets calmed during the US session and US stocks managed to post gains on Monday, this has not fed through to the European session, and stocks and bonds are sharply lower for a second day.

Hyperliquid Price Forecast: HYPE rises on commodities demand amid US-Iran war

Hyperliquid (HYPE) steadies above $33 at press time on Tuesday, marking its fourth consecutive day of recovery in a broadly volatile market due to the ongoing US-Israel strikes on Iran.
