On the daily chart, USD/INR is facing a strong resistance below the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 73.80 with multiple tops formations since September 8.
USD/INR bears would take the center stage if price sustained below intraday’s low of 73.57. In that case, the first downside target would appear at the 73.40 horizontal support level.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator holds onto the oversold zone. Any downtick in the MACD could push USD/INR toward the 73.10 horizontal support level.
Next, USD/INR bears would likely retest the low of 72.89 made on September’s series commencement.
On the higher side, the bulls would first encounter the 100-day SMA at 73.80.
On successful test of the mentioned level, USD/INR would make the next move toward the high made on August 27 at 74.19.
Furthermore, a daily close above the 20-day SMA will enhance the possibility of the 74.50 horizontal resistance level for the pair.
