USD/RUB Price Analysis: Ruble keeps bounce off weekly resistance below 130.00

• USD/RUB consolidates recent losses after refreshing the all-time high on Monday.
• Short-term key supports test sellers but bearish MACD signals hint at further weakness.
• 200-HMA adds to the downside filters, multiple hurdles to test the buyers.

USD/RUB bulls take a breather around 129.00, down 7.20% intraday during early Tuesday morning on Tuesday.

The Russian ruble pair rallied to the record top the previous day before taking a U-turn from 177.25

The pullback, however, failed to conquer the weekly support line, around 111.00 by the press time.

The resulting rebound crossed the 50-HMA and struggles with the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the pair’s upside from February 25.

That said, bearish MACD signals direct USD/RUB bears towards the 111.00 support retest should the quote drops below the 50-HMA level of 126.50.

Also acting as a downside filter is the 200-HMA level near 105.00 and the 100.00 threshold.

Meanwhile, 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level near 140.00 and the 150.00 round figure will challenge USD/RUB buyers before directing them to the latest high near 177.00.

Following that, the 200.00 psychological magnet will be in focus.
