• The level to beat for bears is the 71.20 support. 

USD/INR weekly chart

 
Following the 2018 bull-run, USD/INR has been consolidating in a rectangle pattern. The spot is trading above the main weekly simple moving averages (SMAs), suggesting a bullish bias in the long term.  
 

USD/INR daily chart

The quote broke below a bear flag formation and challenged the 71.20 support level to then retest the 71.60 resistance. However, USD/INR has entered a tight range while remaining vulnerable below the 71.60/72.00 resistance zone. However, a close above the 72.00 figure on a daily basis would likely invalidate the bearish scenario and yields further upside towards the 72.40 level.
