USD/INR Price News: Indian rupee struggles to justify Wednesday’s spinning top

USD/INR fails to respect bearish candlestick as it recovers from 74.79.
21-day SMA exerts immediate downside pressure around monthly falling trendline.
74.45 becomes the key support to watch for the bears.

USD/INR picks up the bids around 74.84 during the initial Indian session on Thursday. The pair formed a bearish candlestick, spinning top, the previous day. However, the latest pullback from the monthly support line seems to question the further downside.

Even so, a 21-day SMA level of 74.88 restricts the pair’s nearby upside, which in turn holds the gate for the pair’s rise towards 75.00 and July 14 high of 75.51.

It should, however, be noted that the pair needs to close past-75.10 to confirm the negligence of the previous day’s candlestick formation.

On the downside, 74.60 and lows marked on July 06 and 21 around 74.45 become the strong support to watch.

If the bears dominate below 74.45, March 27 bottom of 74.15 and 74.00 round-figure will pop-up on their radar.

EUR/USD struggles to regain momentum in the low1.1600s

EUR/USD is giving some signs of life in the aftermath of two severe days of losses on Wednesday, reclaiming the 1.1600 hurdle and above on the back of the resurgence of a mild selling bias around the US Dollar. Moving forward, the usual US weekly Claims will take centre stage on Thursday ahead of Friday’s crucial NFP data.

GBP/USD tests key moving averages as growth downgrade weighs

GBP/USD was nearly flat on Wednesday, edging up 0.08% to settle around 1.3370 in a quiet session. The pair has fallen sharply from its late-January high near 1.3870 and is now testing the 200-day Exponential Moving Average, with this week's one-week forex heatmap showing Pound Sterling as one of the worst performers against the US Dollar, down about 1.4% on the week.

Gold recovers modestly despite intensifying Middle East crisis
