Even so, bullish cross-over the MACD lines join the up gradually increasing histogram teases the Indian rupee (INR) sellers inside an inverse head-and-shoulders (H&S) chart pattern on the daily play.

While a clear break above 73.10 necklines confirms the USD/INR theoretical run-up towards the 75.00 levels, 200-day SMA near 73.50 and May 05 top near the 74.00 threshold offer intermediate checks to the prices.

On the contrary, pullback moves below the weekly bottom of 72.74 defy the bullish chart pattern, which in turn can direct the USD/INR prices to the previous month’s low near 72.33.

Overall, USD/INR bears seem to have tired of late and a confirmation of the inverse H&S could set the tone for a trend change.
