EURGBP TECHS: Bear Threat Remains Present

Feb-03 19:00
  • RES 4: 0.8474 High Jan 20 and a key resistance    
  • RES 3: 0.8421 High Jan 27  
  • RES 2: 0.8381 20-day EMA 
  • RES 1: 0.8363 Intraday high  
  • PRICE: 0.8297 @ 16:46 GMT Feb 3 
  • SUP 1: 0.8296 Low Feb 3
  • SUP 2: 0.8223 Low Dec 19 and a key support  
  • SUP 3: 0.8203 Low Mar 7 ‘22 and a lowest point of a multi-year range   
  • SUP 4: 0.8000 Round number support 

EURGBP is trading in a volatile manner. The bear cycle that started Jan 20 remains in play and today’s price activity has strengthened - for now - a bearish threat. A resumption of weakness would pave the way for a move towards the first key support at 0.8223, the Dec 19 low. On the upside, the 20-day EMA is seen as a key short-term resistance - at 0.8381. A breach of the EMA would highlight a bullish development.
