Forex pair analysis for the week 01 to 05 May 2023

USD/INR

Past week saw a narrow range of 81.60-82.09. The Monthly bearish candle could be one with the narrow range viz. 81.57-82.45. A close below 81.70 favors further lower levels. At least for the moment, it appears that the Pair seems to be in no mood to breach 81.60 on a closing basis. In such scenario we may expect a consolidation between 81.60 and 82.25. There could be choppy moves within this range. A close outside this range requires re-assessment of risk/direction and target. This week is crucial for the foreign currency pair to break or bounce The pair has a tendency to make surprise moves when most in the market do not expect.

A few more observations:

  • Moves in Dollar Index-DXY does not have direct correlation.
  • The currency corrected after making multiple attempts to break 83.
  • The raising upward channel indicate the broader range of 77.10-83.30.
  • As noted in the previous blog, continue to keep the following input for quick reference.
    The 82.75-83.25(with error adjustments) zone is the Fib projection of July 2011 to July 2013. Hence, the importance. If breached, we may see another spike towards 85.70.
    This range is continuing to be protected.
    The target for this move is 80.60 provided 81.60 is taken out on a closing basis.

With this back drop it would be preferable to hedge the outward remittances on decline towards 81.60 or lower if seen. Current exchange rate of USD/INR is 81.72.

EUR/INR

Current EURINR exchange rate is 90.22. The currency pair seem to struggle in an attempt to break 91 mark. Well supported at 89.00 zone. The currency pair attempting to break a flag formation. A daily close above 91 would trigger steeper gains. Likely to make a break-out before cooling off. Expected to undergo consolidation phase between 89.00 & 91.00. Any breach of the range would lead to 100 pips move.

From a remittance perspective it would be prudent to book any outward remittances on slide towards 89.00 levels and the inward remittances by selling EUR currency against INR around 91.00 or higher if seen.

GBP/INR

The GBPINR currency pair moved in a narrow range which is a kind of consolidation after the break-out from the downward sloping trend channel and moving in an upward channel. The pair has formed a bullish candle. Current exchange rate of GBPINR is 102.67. The currency pair is facing strong resistance at 103.40 levels. Likely range would be 101.40-103.40 with choppy moves on either side. It may be prudent to liquidate/hedge outward remittances on any slide towards 101.40 levels by buy GBP currency against INR. it is desirable to hedge inward remittances on any spike to 103.40 or higher levels if seen.

Any close outside the range of 101.40 & 103.40 might see the pair by at least 100 pips in the direction of breach and there would be a need for re-assessment of risk.

AED/INR

The current exchange rate of AEDINR is 22.26. AEDINR pair mirrors the USDINR moves. The pair is attempting to break the crucial support at 22.20. For now, the pair is expected to consolidate between 22.05 and 22.45. We may have to watch for breach on either side for a new 30 pips range.

With this theme in mind the outward remittances may be hedged at the current levels or on any decline towards 22.00.

THB/INR

The current Exchange rate of THB currency against INR is at 2.3923. The pull back is met with selling pressure. The pair is caught in the range of 2.3720 & 2.4020 for the past 3 weeks. Expect the break-out level of 2.3720 to provide good support and we can expect the buying interest on every decline. Expect a consolidation between 2.3720-2.4120. Only a break on either side would decide the direction and target.

The outward remittances can be hedged on any decline towards 2.3720 or lower if seen and inward remittances on any spike towards 2.4120.

With this back drop its wiser to hedge the inward remittances by selling CAD currency against INR on any spike closer to 60.80 or above and hedge the outward remittances by buying CAD currency on any decline closer to the lower end of the range.

Preferable to hedge the commitments of outwards remittances on any decline towards 18.20 or lower if seen. Also suggested to hedge the inward remittance close to 18.60 or higher levels if seen.
