USD/INR daily chart

On the daily chart, after making a high at 75.01 on July 19, the pair has been under constant selling pressure.

The bearish slopping line offers strong resistance for the bulls.  However, prices have been consolidating near 74.10, making it a crucial level to trade.

Being said that, the first upside target could be seen at the 74.35 horizontal resistance level.

Further, a daily close above the descending trendline is required to confirm further upside possibilities toward the high of August 10 at 74.55.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator holds onto the oversold zone for a longer period of time. Any uptick in the MACD would make the meeting of the 74.80 horizontal resistance level a possiblity.

Alternatively, on the downside, a break of 74.00 level, would bring June 18 low at 73.82 back in action, followed by the 73.50 horizontal support level.

Next, price will move toward the June 15 low at 73.17.
