Feb-24 18:30
  • RES 4: 0.9097 76.4% Retracement of the Sep 26 - Dec 1 bear leg
  • RES 3: 0.9047 2.0% 10-dma envelope
  • RES 2: 0.8992 61.8% Retracement of the Sep 26 - Dec 1 bear leg

  • SUP 2: 0.8762 Low Jan 30
  • SUP 3: 0.8754 1.0% 10-dma envelope
  • SUP 4: 0.8722 Low Jan 19 and a reversal trigger

EURGBP reversed lower into the Tuesday close, harming the recent bullish outlook. The intraday break below 0.8804 is bearish, and a close below the handle opens further weakness. 0.8770 vol band support could provide initial support ahead of 0.8762. Nonetheless, moving average studies remain in a bull-mode position, highlighting an underlying uptrend.

  • SUP 3: 1.2081 50-day EMA
  • SUP 4: 1.1842 Low Jan 6 and the bear trigger

GBPUSD has pulled back from recent highs. The move lower is considered corrective. A broader bullish structure remains intact and moving average studies continue to highlight an uptrend. Earlier this week, price pierced resistance at 1.2446, Dec 14 high. A clear break of this hurdle would confirm a resumption of the uptrend that started late September 2022 and open 1.2506, a Fibonacci projection. Initial firm support is 1.2226, the 20-day EMA.
