A bullish theme in EURUSD remains intact and this week’s pullback appears to be a correction. A key short-term resistance at 1.0694, the Oct 24 high, has been breached. This break strengthens a bullish case and signals scope for a stronger short-term correction. Sights are on 1.0764, a Fibonacci retracement. Firm support is at 1.0517, the Nov 1 low, a break would be bearish. Initial support is 1.0659, the 50-day EMA.

EURGBP TECHS: Signs of a Top

  • SUP 2: 0.8620/8569 50-day EMA / Low Sep 15 and a key support
  • SUP 3: 0.8558 Low Sep 11
  • SUP 4: 0.8524 Low Sep 06

EURGBP drifted lower into the Monday close, defying the bull cycle that had remained in play about the 20-day EMA. A close below this level at 0.8642 would be a bearish development and could signal a near-term top. Further losses expose 0.8630 initially ahead of 0.8569, the Sep 15 low and key support. Prices need to rise north of 0.8706 to re-initiate any bull cycle.
