USD/INR New York Price Analysis: Greenback limited by 71.60 resistance vs. yen

 

 

After the 2018 bull-market, USD/INR has been consolidating in a rectangle formation. The quote is trading above its main weekly simple moving averages (SMAs), suggesting a bullish momentum in the long term.  

 

 

The spot broke below a bear flag pattern and challenged the 71.20 support level to retest the 71.60 resistance. However, USD/INR has entered a tight sideways market while remaining vulnerable below the 71.60/72.00 resistance zone. However, a daily close above the 72.00 figure would likely invalidate the bearish scenario and generates further upside towards the 72.40 level.
