USD/INR Price News: Impending bear cross flags Indian rupee strength around 76.00

USD/INR remains depressed after declining the most in a week the previous day.
50-SMA pierces 100-SMA from above, suggesting further downside amid steady RSI, sluggish MACD.
Failures to extend fortnight-old trend line break adds strength to the bearish bias.

USD/INR struggles to defend the 76.00 threshold, sidelined during the mid-Asian session on Wednesday.

That said, the Indian rupee (INR) pair portrayed a bear-cross moving average formation suggesting further downside the previous day while posting the biggest daily loss in a week.

However, sluggish MACD and the resistance-turned-support line from March 08, near 75.95, challenge the USD/INR sellers.

On a clear break of the 75.95, the pair will confirm the bear cross and decline further towards the 200-SMA level surrounding 75.65.

However, the monthly low near 75.20 and the 75.00 psychological magnet will test the USD/INR pair’s further declines.

Alternatively, recovery moves remain elusive until crossing the SMA convergence near 76.25-30.

Following that, a run-up towards the 77.00 round figure and then to the monthly high around 77.17 can’t be ruled out.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.
