“Rupee traded in a range between 79.80 and 79.98. As dollar index traded in a range, broadly the trend for dollar is positive till the time it is above $105… next hurdle for dollar can be seen around $110, hence rupee can be seen weak… the trend continues towards 80.50,” Trivedi said.

He said the Rs 79.25 mark will act as resistance for rupee and break above Rs 79.25 will trigger short covering for rupee.
