Or

Buy above 67.30 Target 67.45-67.60. Stop loss below 66.90


Important factor/data from India


IIP for March (Previous 2.0%)


Dollar/Rupee witnessed mild recovery from the weekly low of 66.5250 and settled with 0.21% gain at 66.81 as greenback strengthen against other major currencies followed by an expectation of a rate hike by the Federal Reserve in the near term.


 However upside move remained limited as overseas funds inflow into local shares offsets the impact of strong dollar. 


Technically, USD-INR has turned neutral since 2 May 2016 and squeezed in a cluster of support 66.55 and resistance of 67.30. However, pair staged a mild recovery from the support and back to close towards 66.81 compare with 66.6650 last week closing. 



With that in mind, USD-INR expect to continued its short term consolidation unless it give either side break, and any rise towards 66.95-66.15 is appear to set short term selling activities.

On the weekly chart, a tall shadow candle stick pattern is indicating for bearishness in EUR-INR, but continued weakness in dollar index may restrict EUR-INR loss.
