USD/INR justifies the Doji candlestick formation at a multi-day low to pick up bids to 73.84, up 0.10% intraday during early Thursday.

The trend reversal suggesting candlestick gains additional attention due to the nearness to the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement (Fibo.) level of September-December 2021 upside, near 73.67.

Even so, bearish MACD signals and sustained trading below a four-month-old support line, now resistance around 74.75, keep USD/INR sellers hopeful.

That said, the latest rebound may aim for the confluence of 200-DMA and 61.8% Fibo. level around 74.30. Also acting as the immediate resistance is the 74.00 threshold.

Meanwhile, a downside break of the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level near 73.67 will aim for the mid-September lows near 73.35 before directing the quote to the bottoms marked in September and May, respectively around 72.90 and 72.35.

To sum up, USD/INR prices are likely to rebound but the bulls have a long way before retaking the controls.
