Posted on February 2, 2021 at 1:59 pm GMT

Dollar, stocks and oil advance even higher One of the main highlights today is the rally in the US dollar, which is still moving higher, near 105.00 versus the Japanese yen. The dollar index is slightly up, while US stocks were re-energized as investors awaited a slew of earnings from corporate America including Exxon Mobil, Amazon.com and Alphabet. The US economy will return to pre-pandemic levels even without another shot of stimulus, announced a study of the Congressional Budget Office. This will endorse the Republicans’ that there is no need for one [..]

Technical Analysis – EURGBP’s picture dampens with dive under key support base

Posted on January 20, 2021 at 12:13 pm GMT

EURGBP plunged today underneath the critical support foundation of 0.8860-0.8884 that had defended the positive structure since the end of May 2020. The falling 50- and 100-period simple moving averages (SMAs) are endorsing further deterioration in the pair, while the 200-period SMA retains a more neutral tone. The short-term oscillators are also demonstrating a minor rise in negative momentum. The MACD, some distance below zero, has slipped back underneath its red trigger line, while the declining RSI has reached the [..]

Technical Analysis – EURGBP meets crucial support band after six negative days

Posted on January 15, 2021 at 8:35 am GMT

EURGBP is trying to balance its weekly negative charge near a familiar support zone of 0.8865 and at the bottom of its seven-month old range following the pullback below its exponential moving averages (EMAs). Given former upside reversals in the region, which coincides with the 50% Fibonacci retracement of February’s rally, and the Stochastics’ bullish cross in the oversold area, a rebound in the price could be a likely scenario in the short run. Note that the market action has been [..]

Technical Analysis – EURGBP plummets to 7-week low; strongly negative

Posted on January 13, 2021 at 10:39 am GMT

EURGBP is plunging to a new seven-week low, below the 0.9000 handle, continuing the selling interest from the 0.9217 resistance. The bearish picture in the very short-term is further supported by the MACD, which is falling below its trigger line. The stochastic oscillator is holding in the oversold zone and is failing to make an attempt higher. Should prices reverse lower, immediate support could come at 0.8890 before taking the market down to 0.8865. A drop below this area would [..]

Technical Analysis – EURGBP’s upside drive dwindles, nourishing range

Posted on December 30, 2020 at 11:43 am GMT

EURGBP remains consolidated between the confines of 0.8860 and 0.9229, with the pair currently testing the flattening simple moving averages (SMAs). The horizontal SMAs are promoting the sideways picture, while the static Ichimoku lines are reflecting the oxygen deprived directional momentum. Looking at the short-term oscillators, the conflicting signals in sentiment are apparent. The MACD is slightly above zero but below its red trigger line, while the RSI has dipped below its neutral threshold. Yet, the stochastic oscillator maintains a [..]

Technical Analysis – EURGBP set to give up some ground after sharp rebound

Posted on December 21, 2020 at 11:42 am GMT

EURGBP is retracing the sharp increase that followed the positive large-gap open earlier today after failing to extend gains beyond 0.9200. The price has significantly stretched above the upper Bollinger band and the RSI is set to exit the overbought zone. Hence, some weakness could be possible in the short run, and with no key support insight, the nearest obstacle to curb downside movements could be the 0.9135 – 0.9150 area, which encapsulates the 61.8% Fibonacci level of the 0.9228 – [..]

Technical Analysis – EURGBP stalls decline with bounce off lower band at 0.9005

Posted on December 16, 2020 at 9:22 am GMT

EURGBP’s neutral-to-bullish picture seems to be deteriorating as the price dipped under the 100-period simple moving average (SMA), touching the mid-Bollinger band at 0.9005. In spite of the rising 100-period SMA, the 200-period SMA is endorsing a more neutral tone, while the slowing upward pace in the 50-period SMA is sponsoring a fading positive picture. The short-term oscillators are suggesting mixed signals in directional momentum. The MACD is plunging below the zero mark, distancing itself from its red trigger line, [..]
