USD/INR Technical Analysis: Path of least resistance is to the higher side


The USD/INR pair closed well above the Jan. 21 high of 71.52 yesterday, reviving the bullish view put forward by the falling wedge breakout on Jan. 18. 

Daily chart

The bull breakout seen in the above chart is backed by the ascending 5- and 10-day moving averages (MAs) and the 14-day relative strength index (RSI), which is currently printing bullish conditions above 60.

USD/INR, therefore, could beat the 100-day moving average (MA), currently at 71.79, in a day or two and rise well above 72.00. 

The bullish setup would be neutralized below the former resistance-turned-support of 71.52, although that looks less likely.
