India’s Fundamentals
WPI Inflation (Dec)
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry released the WPI, which is a macro/fundamental indicator, similar to the CPI. The actual result for the WPI came out as 3.80% which is less than the previous which was at 4.64 %. This indicates a slowing of the economy and consequently bearish for the Indian Rupee.

Technical Analysis
USDINR: Monthly Chart
The above monthly chart illustrates a bearish engulfing pattern on November ’18. A sudden rise in bearish volatility such as this usually implies an opposite recoil in price direction.
USDINR: Weekly Chart
From a weekly chart perspective, the bearish engulfing pattern is broken down into a series of consecutive bearish bars. The increase in bearish pressure on November 5 2018 built confidence to enter a short selling trade for a 4.13% profit target compared to a 1.1% risk exposure.
USDINR Daily Chart
Before we can enter on a recoil as mentioned on the monthly chart overview, we need a strong reversal pattern from the daily chart to confirm it. The bullish regular divergence as shown above gives a clear illustration for such bullish recoil. A golden cross of the MACD oscillator on Jan 9 ’19 confirms a long entry in the bullish direction.
This bullish divergence pattern was built from the swing high triggered by a bullish accumulation pattern on Dec 5 ’18 and a swing low triggered by a bearish accumulation on Dec 12 ’18, both giving a profit of 3.09% and 3.4% respectively.
USDINR 4-Hour (H4) Chart
A regular bullish divergence was initialized on the 4hour chart, confirming a similar divergence pattern on the daily chart. This in combination with an accumulation pattern signaling bullish pressure on January 7 ’19 22:00 resulted in about 2.02% increase in the price of the Indian Rupee. The pair trades easily over the 65-period moving average, as it continues with a breakout of bearish accumulation on January 9 ’19 02:00.
USDINR 2HR Chart
The 2-hour chart above reflects a bullish campaign that started on January 2 ’19 02:00, by first triggering a breakout of bearish accumulation. This initial move resulted in a 1.23% gain for a possible buy trade.
An opposite breakdown of hidden bullish accumulation triggered on January 3 ’19 16:00 lead to a 1.25% gain in a bearish short trade.
