FPI confidence pressured as rupee weakness curbs foreign investment flows

Recent news underscores that depreciation of the Indian rupee against the US dollar, with the exchange rate shifting from 85 to 96.3, has reduced dollar-denominated returns for foreign portfolio investors and affected market attractiveness. Currency stability is viewed as an important driver for restoring FPI confidence in the Indian market. Weakness in the rupee may further deter new foreign investments, shaping market sentiment and movement for the US Dollar vs Indian Rupee.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees USD/INR maintaining bullish momentum but remains critical of its sustainability. He highlights persistent rupee weakness that has deterred foreign portfolio investors and hurt market sentiment. The analyst notes that while technicals show strength above key moving averages, there are warning signs — oversold oscillators and negative intraday bull/bear power. Kharitonov emphasizes the risk that any failure near ₹95.27 could invite sharp downside. "Strong short-term gains mask deeper fragility — without renewed rupee stability, upside is likely capped and caution is warranted at these levels."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, views the current USD/INR bull trend as robust and supported by strong macro and sentiment factors. He believes the persistently firm dollar and recent news highlighting FPI attention signal fresh growth opportunities for the pair. Karapetjanc points out that four major weekly indicators in buy territory reinforce a structurally bullish backdrop. He sees currency stability returning and market confidence gradually improving, offering new entry setups. "The bullish structure remains intact — I expect further growth toward ₹96.38 and the market offers multiple attractive setups for trend-followers."

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, notes that USD/INR is trading at session highs with strong upside momentum visible on most technical indicators. He recognizes intraday volatility and mixed oscillator readings, highlighting potential for both quick moves and short-term retracements. Turakhiya believes traders should focus on the defined volatility band between ₹95.27 and ₹96.38 for near-term setups. He urges attention to order flow and evolving sentiment, as news on rupee weakness may drive intraday swings. "With firm buying pressure and defined ranges, I see short-term opportunities both for breakout trades and quick reversals on USD/INR this week."

Strong upward trend as multi-indicator alignment meets intraday buying

USD/INR is trading above both the 20-day (₹95.4934) and 50-day (₹94.2677) moving averages, as well as well above the 200-day (₹91.5603), confirming bullish momentum in short-, medium-, and long-term trends. According to the Ichimoku indicator, dynamic support is near the Kijun level at ₹95.6266, with the next resistance likely near the 50-day average or the round level at ₹96.

Daily momentum remains strong, with the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) signaling a clear buy and the Average Directional Index (ADX) at a robust reading, confirming a solid trend. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is neutral-to-bullish near the midpoint, but the Stochastic RSI points to oversold conditions, and the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) remains neutral. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) is negative, indicating intraday seller dominance and an oversold reading, while the Awesome Oscillator supports upward momentum. The pair is trading at ₹95.7161 after an upside gap of approximately ₹0.13 and shows a 0.50% increase from the previous session, with current price near session highs and intraday volatility at 0.46%. The intraday picture reflects firm buying pressure toward the upper end of the range.

Earlier, analysts noted that the US dollar maintained a bullish outlook against the rupee, supported by central bank intervention and improved macroeconomic factors. The latest technical and momentum signals reinforce this view, with current market dynamics positioning USD/INR for further gains within the ₹95.27–₹96.38 band and highlighting an upside risk if resistance is decisively breached.
