EUR/GBP daily chart

  • EUR/GBP is little changed near 0.8550 at the start of Asian trading on Monday.
  • Following its failure to successfully cross 50-day simple moving average (SMA), the pair is likely declining towards mid-month low around 0.8500.
  • Though, the current month low surrounding 0.8470 and support-line of two-month-old descending trend-channel, at 0.8430 now, can entertain sellers afterward.
  • During additional selling pressure beneath 0.8430, 61.8% Fibonacci expansion (FE) of January 11 to March 21 moves, at 0.8360, could become bear’s favorite.
  • Meanwhile, 0.8640 and 50-day simple moving average (SMA) level of 0.8680 may restrict the quote’s near-term upside ahead of diverting market attention to 0.8715/20 resistance-confluence comprising 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of January – March downturn and upper-line of the said channel.
  • If at all buyers manage to conquer 0.8720, 50% Fibonacci at 0.8790 and 200-day SMA level of 0.8840 could flash on their list.
