  • The level to beat for bears is the 71.60 level.

USD/INR four-hour chart

 
The market is challenging 71.60 support and the 50 SMA. If the market bounces from here, the spot can revisit the 72.00 handle and possibly the 72.25 resistance if the bulls gather enough steam.
 
On the flip side, a break below 71.60 can see the market decline and trade towards the 71.20 level.
