The stiff resistance zone is observed at 86.355 levels, current price well below DMAs and price dips likely to prolong upto next strong support at 83.795 levels.
On a broader perspective, the intermediate trend of this pair which is in consolidation phase since December 2015 has now been forming head and shoulder chart pattern and above stated bearish engulfing pattern drag slumps to develop this pattern (refer weekly plotting).
