Support: 68.123, 70.320, 74.214

Three consecutive weekly closing bars on the chart above confirm an accumulation of buy orders, and setting support at 74.214. This is clearly a bullish signal, although, a collapse of the support would mean a switch in polarity to the downside.

We’ll closely watch the 74.214 support as we enter the new week.

The bulls struggle to establish a new daily close above the 76.484 resistance, and finally closed bearish last week. 

A breach of the significant resistance implies a continuation of the bullish momentum and new highs.

Support: 73.45, 73.694, 74.214, 74.411, 75.262, 75.368

While trading within a range, an increase in buying power by the bulls force the exchange rate above critical resistance levels set up as accumulation of sell orders on 13 March on the above chart.

Conclusion and Projection

As the race towards developing a vaccine for the corona virus heighten, India records some patients responding to treatment by administering hydroxychloroquine. A permanent solution in the form of a vaccine would mean a comeback in global economies.

We expect a bullish outlook into this week, while paying attention to identified support levels on the weekly time frame.
