Forex pair analysis for the week 17 to 21 April 2023

USD/INR

Past week saw a narrow range of 81.57-82.14. The Monthly candle shows a bearish candle. A close below 81.60 favors further lower levels. After almost 2 months the currency broke the support at 82.05. There is not much change in the earlier observations of the likely scenario which would be a consolidation between 81.60 and 82.15. Break below 81.60 could lead to a sharp move towards the target of 81.10 and finally 80.60. There could be choppy moves within this range. A close outside this range requires re-assessment of risk/direction and target.

A few more observations:

  • The currency corrected after making multiple attempts to break 83.
  • Moves in Dollar Index-DXY does not have exact correlation.
  • 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.
    This week is crucial for the pair to break or bounce.
    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 81.84.

EUR/INR

Current EURINR exchange rate is 89.94. The currency pair managed to hold on to the gains well supported at 88.50 zone. The currency pair attempted a new high of 90.47 and closed lower at 89.94. Likely to undergo consolidation phase between 88.50 & 90.50. Any breach of the range would lead to 100 pips move.

It is prudent to look for key levels to hedge the risk. From a remittance perspective it would be prudent to book any outward remittances on slide towards 88.50 levels and the inward remittances by selling EUR currency against INR around 90.50 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. It made an attempt towards 102.55 and closed at 101.61. The pair has formed a bearish candle. Current foreign exchange rate of GBPINR is 101.61. The currency pair is facing strong resistance at 102.82 levels. The pair is expected to break this barrier and head north. Likely range would be 100.40.10-102.70 with choppy moves on either side. It may be prudent to liquidate/hedge outward remittances on any slide towards 100.40 levels by buying GBP currency against INR. it is desirable to hedge inward remittances on any spike to 102.70 or higher levels if seen.

Any close outside the range of 100.40 & 102.70 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 22.29. AEDINR pair mirrors the USDINR moves. The pair is attempting to break the crucial support at 22.30. For now, the pair is expected to consolidate between 21.20 and 22.60. 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 21.20.

THB/INR

The current Exchange rate of THB currency against INR is at 2.3876. The pull back is met with selling pressure. The pair is caught in the range of 2.3750 & 2.4240 for the past 4 weeks. Expect the break-out level of 2.3750 to provide good support and we can expect the buying interest on every decline. Expect a consolidation between 2.3750-2.4240. Only a break on either side would decide the direction and target.

The outward remittances can be hedged on any decline towards 2.3750 or lower if seen and inward remittances on any spike towards 2.4240

Expect the base of 18.20 to hold and favour a consolidation between 18.20-18.90. Any break on either side would decide the direction and target. 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 18.90 or higher levels if seen.
