USD/INR bulls keep the reins for the fourth consecutive day as they prod a 10-week-old resistance around 82.75 during early Thursday. In doing so, the Indian Rupee (INR) pair justifies the upside break of the 200-SMA and the bullish MACD signals amid the overbought RSI (14) line.
Even if the RSI conditions prod the Indian Rupee sellers at the key resistance line stretched from late May, fundamentals favoring the US Dollar and the quote’s sustained trading beyond the key SMA, as well as above a one-week-old support line keep the USD/INR buyers hopeful.
With this, the quote is likely to cross the 82.75 hurdle and prod the previous monthly high of around 82.83.
However, multiple tops marked in May around the 83.00 round figure may challenge the USD/INR buyers afterward.
Alternatively, a pullback move remains unimpressive beyond the early June swing high of around 82.60.
Following that, the aforementioned support line and the 200-SMA, respectively near 82.40 and 82.15, will act as the last defense of the USD/INR buyers.
Overall, the cautious mood ahead of multiple US data allows USD/INR bulls to take a breather but the bullish bias remains intact.
