EURGBP – 0.8487

As the single currency ran has remained under pressure after recent selloff, adding credence to our view that top has been formed at 0.8788 earlier last month, hence consolidation with mild downside bias remains for the fall from 0.8788 to extend weakness to 0.8445-50, however, reckon previous support at 0.8403 would hold on first testing due to near term oversold condition and price should stay well above support at 0.8332, risk from there is seen for a rebound later.

On the upside, whilst initial recovery to the Tenkan-Sen (now at 0.8537) cannot be ruled out, reckon upside would be limited to 0.8590-00 and the Kijun-Sen (now at 0.8633) should hold, bring another decline later. A daily close above the Kijun-Sen would suggest low is formed instead, bring further gain to 0.8685-90, however above resistance at 0.8735 is needed to revive bullishness and signal the rise from 0.8403 is still in progress, bring further gain to 0.8810-15 but as broad outlook remains consolidative, reckon upside would be limited to previous resistance at 0.8857, risk from there is seen for a retreat to take place later.

Recommendation: Stand aside for this week.

On the weekly chart, euro’s retreat from 0.8788 has continued pressuring the single currency, adding credence to our view that the rebound from 0.8403 has ended at 0.8788 last month, hence consolidation with mild downside bias remains for further weakness to 0.8460, however, reckon 0.8430 would limit downside and said support at 0.8403 should hold, bring further sideways trading, Only a break of this support would revive bearishness and extend the fall from 0.8857 to 0.8350-55. Looking ahead, below there would signal decline from 0.9576 top has resumed for retest of 0.8304 but only break there would extend the fall from 0.9576 top for retracement of medium term upmove to previous support at 0.8251, then 0.8200.

On the upside, expect recovery to be limited to the Tenkan-Sen (now at 0.8596) and the Kijun-Sen (now at 0.8681) should hold, bring another decline later. Only a break of resistance at 0.8735 would risk test of said resistance at 0.8788 which is likely to cap euro’s upside. In the event the single currency is able to penetrate said resistance at 0.8788, this would extend the rebound from 0.8403 towards said resistance at 0.8857. Looking ahead, only a break of this level would revive bullishness and extend the rise from 0.8304 to 0.8940 (50% Fibonacci retracement of 0.9576-0.8304) but price should falter below resistance at 0.9026.
