USD/INR takes a U-turn from the highest levels since late December 2021, sidelined around 75.80 during the initial Indian trading session on Wednesday.

The Indian rupee (INR) pair’s pullback marks another failure to cross an upward sloping resistance line from January 03, as well as nearly overbought the RSI line.

However, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of December-January downside, around 75.50, will challenge the intraday pair sellers.

Should the quote remain bearish past-75.50, a one-week-old support line near 95.30 will test the downside moves ahead of highlighting the 100-DMA and 200-DMA, respectively around 74.85 and 74.45.

Meanwhile, the aforementioned resistance line, at 76.20 by the press time, holds the key to the USD/INR rally towards the latest 2021 peak of 76.59.

Overall, USD/INR bulls have gone a long way and hence a pullback can be expected. Though, bears are far away from taking control.

USD/JPY remains below 155.50 as bulls await the key Fed decision

Spot prices, however, remain below the mid-155.00s as bulls seem hesitant ahead of the Fed decision later today and the BoJ meeting, starting on Thursday.

Ethereum continues to attract capital despite impending rate hike and Clarity Act failure

Ethereum declined to $2,400 on Tuesday after the Clarity Act failed to progress in the Senate.

Ethereum buyers have been dominating sellers over the past few days.

How Japan became the World's Banker and why that era may be ending

Japan's ultra-low interest rates helped finance trillions of dollars in global investments for more than a decade, making the Japanese Yen one of the world’s cheapest sources of funding. With the Bank of Japan expected to tighten policy again this week, that advantage may be entering a new phase. While most major economies raised interest rates, Japan remained the world's outlier.

Venezuela’s 65-billion-barrel Oil deal could reshape America’s inflation fight

The United States (US) has secured unprecedented access to part of Venezuela’s vast Oil reserves. The timing is particularly significant as the war with Iran is disrupting Middle Eastern supplies, keeping energy prices elevated and reviving concerns about inflation.
