FOREX

The Dollar index has risen well but needs to sustain above 102 to ensure further upside, while the Euro trades below 1.13, indicating the start of a medium-term bearish movement. USDJPY can rise slowly towards 159 while EURJPY looks weak. EURINR could have limited downside and could soon bounce back in the coming sessions, while USDCNY could remain stable for this week. USDINR has mild scope to test 95.50 while above 96.35 before facing rejection from there towards 96-95.80. A decisive break above 96.50 could be bullish. Aussie and Pound could hold above crucial supports at 0.69 and 1.32 respectively.

Dollar Index (102) is trading higher, attempting to break 102 on the upside. If the rise is seen and sustained, we may have to look for further bullishness towards 103-104 in the medium term. Correspondingly, EURUSD (1.1236) is trading well below the crucial resistance at 1.13 and while that sustains, a slow decline towards 1.12/1.11 could be on the cards.

Dollar-Yen (157.48) has scope to see a slow rise to 159 while above 157.

EURJPY (176.95) has clearly broken below our earlier expected range of 181-178 and while below 178, the bearish view is clear and the decline could soon gain momentum towards 174/172 before pausing for a reversal in the coming weeks.

EURINR (108.0629) has declined to 108. There is support in the 108-107.50 region, which is likely to hold and produce a bounce back in the coming days.

USDCNY (6.7040) is likely to open mid week and continue trading within the 6.70/71 region for the rest of the week.

Aussie (0.6953) is holding above crucial support at 0.69. While the level holds, we may expect a bounce back towards 0.70/71 in the coming weeks. Similarly, Pound (1.3236) has crucial support at 1.32 above which we may expect a sharp rebound for the medium term back towards 1.34/35. Only a break below 1.32, if seen can turn it bearish towards 1.31/30 which looks unlikely at the moment.

USDINR (96.30) could see a dip back towards 96-95.80, if resistance near 96.35 or higher near 96.50 holds immediately. Else a straight rise to 97 could be on the cards. Watch price action near current levels for the next couple of sessions.
