Earlier, the pair confirmed a bullish double bottom pattern by breaking the neckline around 0.8594 and now the bullish cross competed between the 20- and the 50-day SMAs is further backing a trend improvement.

Technical Analysis – EURGBP gives up rally near 200-day SMA

Posted on March 5, 2020 at 8:31 am GMT

EURGBP bulls hit a wall near the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) which perfectly curbed last week’s aggressive rally, with the price edging down to the 0.8600 territory on Wednesday. The price is currently ready to enter the 0.8647-0.8560 restrictive region formed by the 50% and 38% Fibonacci retracement levels of the 0.9018-0.8275 downleg, where a consolidation phase could take place given the downside reversal in the RSI and Stochastics from the overbought levels.

Technical Analysis – EURGBP finds wall near 20-SMA; retains neutral mode

Posted on February 25, 2020 at 9:26 am GMT

Posted on February 19, 2020 at 10:42 am GMT

EURGBP is trading near its weakest level since 2017, following a plunge from the 0.8385 barrier in the preceding week. The pair created a consolidation area from 0.8275 to 0.8590 since December 13 but is still moving below the short- and medium-term moving averages, confirming the long-term bearish structure from the ten-year peak of 0.9324. From a technical viewpoint, the momentum indicators seem to be in confusion as the MACD is holding below its trigger line, which supports the bearish view [..]

Technical Analysis – EURGBP bears come in play; aim for 3-year lows

Posted on February 13, 2020 at 2:28 pm GMT

EURGBP is heading south to meet its 3-year low of 0.8275 after an unsuccessful attempt to rise above the Ichimoku cloud in previous sessions. The main scenario is that selling pressure will persist in the short-term as the RSI and Stochastics are trending downwards in the bearish area but have yet to reach oversold levels, while the MACD is also moving with a stronger negative momentum below its red signal line. Possibly, the downfall may take a breather within the [..]
