Technical Analysis – EURGBP declines steeply in short-term; holds in descending channel

Posted on October 14, 2020 at 1:20 pm GMT

EURGBP has lost significant ground over the last 4-hour session, finding resistance at the lower surface of the Ichimoku cloud. The price has been developing within a descending channel since September 15 and the RSI is confirming this negative bias as it is pointing downwards. The MACD oscillator is moving sideways near the zero level. Immediate support would come from the 0.9020 barrier before traders move towards the 0.8990 level. Clearing these hurdles, the market could touch the 0.8864 support, taken from the low on [..]

Equities cruise higher, back within breathing distance of record highs But FX doesn’t play ball – yen climbs, commodity currencies underperform Euro headed for trouble amid high infections and growth worries Today: US inflation data coming up, earnings season resumes Currencies don’t play along with stock rally The US stock market rallied furiously on Monday, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 gaining 3.1% to come within breathing distance of its recent record highs, propelled higher by the likes of Apple (+6.4%) [..]

Technical Analysis – EURGBP narrows inside symmetrical triangle

Posted on October 9, 2020 at 7:28 am GMT

EURGBP turned less volatile within a symmetrical triangle in the four-hour chart, hinting that another breakout may happen soon following Thursday’s failure. The technical indicators are currently painting a neutral picture for the short term as the RSI is testing its 50 neutral mark from the downside, the MACD is attached to its zero line, and the Stochastics seem to be stabilizing. Should the price violate the 0.9100 level and hence exit the triangle on the upside, the bulls may [..]

Technical Analysis – EURGBP edges eastbound; upholds positive structure

Posted on October 7, 2020 at 2:33 pm GMT

EURGBP is currently tackling the mid-Bollinger band, preserving a neutral-to-bullish tone after bounces off the 50- and 100-day simple moving averages (SMAs), which followed a retreat from the recent five-and-a-half-month high of 0.9291. The dampened slopes of the 50- and 100-day SMAs continue to endorse the gradual positive incline in the pair. The short-term indicators reflect that positive momentum is strengthening. The MACD, although below its red trigger line, has held above zero, and appears set to reclaim it. Moreover, [..]

Technical Analysis – EURGBP keeps erasing September’s rally; enters oversold zone

Posted on September 28, 2020 at 12:42 pm GMT

EURGBP slumped below the 200-period simple moving average (SMA) in the four-hour chart on Monday to test the 61.8% Fibonacci level of the September rally around 0.9027. The downside correction also sent the RSI into the oversold area and where it bottomed out several times in the past few months. While this suggests that an upside reversal could be around the corner, the indicator, as well as the fast Stochastics, need first to find a turning point to convince that [..]

Technical Analysis – EURGBP seems to be looking for more recovery after dip in Ichimoku cloud

Posted on September 23, 2020 at 9:27 am GMT

EURGBP has been trading bullish in the short-term picture after ascending from the 0.9080 support, pushing the price above the 0.9200 handle, the simple moving averages (SMAs), and the Ichimoku cloud. The short-term oscillators reflect a slightly positive bias. The MACD, in the positive area, has moved marginally above its red trigger line but remains close to zero, while the RSI has been fluctuating above its neutral mark, pointing slightly up. Additionally, the 20- and 40-period SMAs are ready to confirm a bullish crossover, suggesting that the upside structure may improve. To the upside, the important [..]

Technical Analysis – EURGBP could provide the bulls a second chance

Posted on September 17, 2020 at 11:32 am GMT

EURGBP pulled back below the 0.9290 resistance for the second time this year but the bulls may have a second chance to retake control as the pair is exposed to a key supportive area. The 50% Fibonacci retracement of the 0.9497-0.8670 downleg is currently in action at 0.9080, blocking any additional negative correction. If it proves fragile, the descending trendline with the help of the 38.2% Fibonacci of 0.8980 could still keep the bulls on the surface if they manage to put [..]

Technical Analysis – EURGBP under negative strain; retraces to 38.2% Fibonacci

Posted on September 16, 2020 at 12:51 pm GMT

EURGBP dived towards the 0.9130 barrier, that being the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the up leg from 0.8865 to 0.9291, seeking to extend a deeper withdrawal from the recent 5½-month peak of 0.9291. The falling red Tenkan-sen line is fuelling the descent and could boost it with a bearish overlap of the blue Kijun-sen line. Additional negative backing is reflected in the short-term oscillators. The MACD, in the positive region, is decreasing below its red signal line, while the RSI [..]
