Risk perception eases as fund outflows slow on rupee stability
Global fund managers have recently slowed their exit from Indian stocks as easing oil prices and a more stable rupee have reduced key investment risks, according to Economictimes Indiatimes. The rupee's recovery from record lows, buoyed by central bank actions to stimulate dollar inflows, has lessened external pressure and contributed to a more favorable macro backdrop. Economictimes Indiatimes also reports that the Indian currency has emerged as one of the best-performing in Asia for June, reflecting a positive reevaluation by international investors.
Overbought signals escalate as intraday buyers drive momentum
USD/INR is holding above the MA-20 at ₹94.6687 and the MA-50 at ₹94.6202 on the hourly chart, with the MA-200 below at ₹92.5095. Immediate technical support is marked by the hourly Ichimoku Kijun at ₹94.7312. Relative Strength Index (RSI) is in buy territory at 62.78, while the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) flags the market as overbought; the Stochastic RSI is neutral. Momentum remains positive, with both the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Average Directional Index (ADX) providing buy signals, and Bull/Bear Power suggesting strong intraday buyer dominance. The Awesome Oscillator also supports the positive momentum, but mixed oscillator signals highlight the risk of a near-term pullback.
Upside prospects firm as breakout risk surpasses downside odds
For the next two to three trading days, USD/INR is expected to remain within a range of ₹94.5825 to ₹95.5331, with the likelihood of an upward move rated very high and chances of a decline considered low. The base expectation is for the pair to remain in a sideways pattern within this projected range. In a bullish scenario, a breakout above resistance could extend gains beyond the upper boundary, while a bearish scenario would see a drop below support, targeting the lower end of the volatility band.
Previously it was reported that ongoing Reserve Bank of India intervention and mixed market momentum had led analysts to adopt a cautious outlook for the USD/INR pair. The current constructive shift, underpinned by renewed capital inflows and technical strength, suggests traders should watch for a sustained move above recent highs as a trigger for more decisive bullish momentum.
