RBI intervention capacity rises as FCNR(B) inflows boost reserves

Indian banks recently collected over $136 billion in foreign currency non-resident (bank) FCNR(B) deposits under a special scheme that concluded on August 31, according to Economictimes Indiatimes. This substantial inflow has enhanced the Reserve Bank of India's foreign currency holdings, giving the central bank expanded capacity to intervene in support of the rupee and temper volatility in the CAD/INR exchange rate. Complementing this, India's foreign exchange reserves climbed to a record $740.80 billion in the same week, with the majority of contributions attributed to these special deposit programs, as reported by Investing.com.

Bearish momentum prevails as price tests short-term technicals

On the technical front, CAD/INR is trading below its MA-20 and MA-50 on the hourly chart, while longer-term support remains intact with the price above its MA-200 on the daily timeframe. The immediate resistance level stands at the Ichimoku Kijun of ₹68.6436, and the nearest support level is at ₹67.8131. Among momentum indicators, MACD is Neutral, ADX signals Buy, while both RSI and CCI issue Sell signals. Stochastic RSI remains Neutral, but both Bull/Bear Power and Awesome Oscillator favor sellers, highlighting ongoing intraday bearishness.

Sideways consolidation likely amid defined range and breakout risks

Over the next two to three trading days, price action is expected to remain in the range of ₹67.8131 to ₹68.4947, reflecting typical volatility for CAD/INR. The baseline scenario points to sideways consolidation within this band. Should the pair break above resistance at ₹68.6436, a short-term bullish scenario may emerge. Conversely, a drop below the support at ₹67.8131 would signal further downside risk.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees CAD/INR in a constructive position after the significant FCNR(B) deposit inflows and record forex reserves. He notes this strong fundamental backing gives the Reserve Bank of India more firepower to stabilize the rupee, despite near-term technical bearishness. The analyst believes the current rangebound behavior is likely to persist unless there is a decisive break above or below the key price levels. "India's record reserves and recent foreign currency inflows provide a solid buffer, so I see strong potential for stability in INR in the coming days," he says.

Earlier, analysts noted that robust capital inflows and supportive technical structures were likely to underpin the Indian rupee's resilience against the Canadian dollar despite short-term headwinds. The current article strengthens this view with fresh evidence of record foreign exchange reserves and renewed central bank intervention capacity, highlighting the Kijun resistance at ₹68.6436 as the immediate level to watch for any potential breakout.
