The rupee extends fall to trade at 55.81-55.82 versus its previous close of 55.5350-55.5450, after hitting 55.82, a level last seen on September 6, on strong dollar demand from oil refiners.

Traders say lack of dollar inflows and strong importer demand leading to exaggerated moves in the pair. The pair is gradually expected to inch up towards the next key resistance of 56.03, which was the high on September 6.
