Rudra Shares and Stock Brokers
History repeats itself and so does the price pattern. Amid all noise and news flow, price has all the information and first information. For the last two weeks we have been repeatedly making it to the notice that the current ongoing scenario is a mirror image of what happened in the month of Nov-Dec 2019 and a big move on the upside will not be ruled out.
The pattern has finally matured and a sharp move on an upside has been witnessed in the previous week. The currency pair has finally touched the 72 mark and is trading with decent gains.
With this sharp up move certain major changes are shaping up for the currency pair on positional basis. On the weekly chart, prices were resting on 20 week moving average and now the bulls have taken the charge from there indicating that the consolidation process is over and trend is developing on an upside. Short term moving averages are developing a positive curve suggesting that up move could extend in days to come. On a daily time frame, the currency pair is facing the falling trend line resistance which could act as temporary halt for the bulls and some breather can be seen.
Though, the breakout has is in action but it’s not prudent to chase the running bulls at current levels. The trend line is acting as a mild resistance and prices are likely to show respect towards as it’s approaching there for the first time. Trend is intact but mild pause can be expected before the reiteration of upmove.
Momentum indicators have started trading in a bullish zone after a long time indicating that bulls have tightened the grip. One of the major changes that have taken place is that, the base for the currency pair has shifted upward from 71.10 to 71.50 which will act as a major factor in formulation of trading strategy.
Any dip above this level will act as a buying opportunity for traders and instead of chasing the breakout more focus should be placed on base price.
