USD/INR Price Analysis: Indian Rupee sellers need to cross 81.80 hurdle to retake control


  • USD/INR remains firmer for the second consecutive day, grinds near intraday top.
  • Successful break of three-week-old descending trend line, upbeat oscillators suggest upside break of 100-DMA.
  • Previous support line from early August 2022 acts as the last defense of USD/INR bears.

USD/INR holds onto the week-start breakout of the previously key resistance line as bulls flirt with the 81.65 level during an initial hour of the Indian trading session on Tuesday. Even so, the 100-DMA challenges the immediate upside moves near 81.80.

It’s worth noting, however, that the receding bearish bias of the USD/INR and the upbeat RSI (14) suggest further upside of the pair.

Hence, the quote is likely to overcome the immediate barrier to the north near 81.80. Following that, the 82.00 round figure will be the focus of the USD/INR buyers.

In a case where USD/INR remains firmer past 82.00, the support-turned-resistance line from early August, near 82.10 at the latest, will be crucial to watch as a sustained break of which might give control to the bulls.

On the flip side, the immediate support line from January 06, the previous resistance near 81.40, puts a floor under the USD/INR declines.

Should the quote remains weak past 81.40, the 81.00 round figure and the monthly low marked on Monday close to 80.90 may entertain the USD/INR bears.

If at all the Indian Rupee (INR) pair refreshes it's monthly low, November’s trough surrounding 80.35 should be in the spotlight.
