EURGBP is trading closer to its recent highs and a bullish theme remains intact. The latest recovery paves the way for an extension towards the bull trigger at 0.8769, the Jul 28 high. Clearance of this level would strengthen the bull theme. Support to watch lies at 0.8597, the Aug 14 low. A breach of this level would instead reinstate a recent bearish threat. First support is 0.8659, the 50-day EMA.

GBPUSD TECHS: Trades Through Support

Sep-28 18:43
  • RES 4: 1.3789 High Jul 1 and key resistance    
  • RES 3: .3661/3726 High Sep 18 / 17 
  • RES 2: 1.3537 High Sep 23 1
  • RES 1: 1.3427 Low Sep 24

  • SUP 3: 1.3254 Low Aug 4
  • SUP 4: 1.3144 38.2% retracement of the Jan 13 - Jul 1 bull cycle          

GBPUSD traded lower last Thursday, marking an extension of the current bear cycle that started Sep 17. The move down has resulted in a break of 1.3491, a trendline support drawn from the Aug 1 low. This undermines a recent bullish theme. Note too that 1.3333, the Sep 3 low and a key support, has been pierced, opening 1.3282 next, the Aug 6 low. Initial resistance to watch is 1.3537, the Sep 23 high. A break of it would signal a reversal.

EURUSD TECHS: Breaches Support At The 50- Day EMA

Sep-28 18:36
  • RES 4: 1.2063 2.236 proj of the Feb 28 - Mar 18 - 247 price swing
  • RES 3: 1.2000 Round number resistance 
  • RES 2: 1.1919/23 High Sep 17 / 2.0 proj of Feb 28 - Mar 18-27 swing
  • RES 1: 1.1735/1820 20-day EMA / High Sep 23  
  • PRICE: 1.1701 @ 18:39 BST Sep 26
  • SUP 1: 1.1646 Low Sep 25 
  • SUP 2: 1.1574 Low Aug 27
  • SUP 3: 1.1528 Low Aug 5
  • SUP 4: 1.1392 Low Aug 1 and bear trigger.

The trend theme in EURUSD is unchanged, it remains bullish and the recent pullback appears corrective. However, support at 1.1680. the 50-day EMA, has been breached. A clear break of this average would signal scope for a deeper retracement and expose 1.1574 initially, the Aug 27 low. For bulls, a resumption of gains would refocus attention on 1.1923, a Fibonacci projection. Initial firm resistance to watch is 1.1820, the Sep 23 high.
