Tech Musings: - Currency




My previous post on INR called for a correction to the levels of 57 and further to 55. The call was given when INR was trading at 60.02 with a stop loss of 61.30. INR fell from that level to 58.33 and then bounced back to hit my stop loss of 61.30.

In my previous call I had made the following assumption

1.       Narendra Modi will become the prime minister of India
2.       Equity markets will break out
3.       India will witness heavy FII inflows
4.   Another implicit assumption was BJP govt. will force RBI to allow INR to appreciate as strong currency will give a positive signal to people.

The first three assumptions came true while the fourth did not. The failure of INR to move beyond 58 indicates that RBI will strongly maintain the floor for INR.

If we look at the current structure of INR it’s forming an inverse head and shoulder structure. Any breakout above 61.50 will see a severe depreciation and INR can move up to 63 levels and beyond.
Meanwhile DXY has appreciated to 84 levels while Euro (1.29), GBP (1.60), JPY (106) are plummeting as mentioned in my previous post.
