EUR/GBP Price Analysis: Technical outlook
The cross-currency daily chart portrays the pair as neutral to downward biased, as the pair resumed upwards and is testing the 50-day Moving Average (DMA) at 0.8583. A daily close above the latter would expose the 0.8600 figure, followed by the August 14 high of 0.8632. Otherwise, if EUR/GBP stays below 0.8600, that could open the door for further weakness, and it might test the year-to-date (YTD) low of 0.8492.
The EUR/GBP hourly chart depicts the pair as upward biased, with the pair achieving successive series of higher lows and higher highs, which could pave the way for further upside. If EUR/GBP breaks above 0.8600, that could open the door for further gains, with the August 14 high at 0.8632 and the August 11 high at 0.8669. Conversely, if sellers break the 50-hour Simple Moving Average (SMA) ah 0.8579, a pullback is expected towards Monday’s low of 0.8566. A breach of the latter would expose last Friday’s low of 0.8560.
