The primary trend direction in EURGBP is unchanged and remains down. The pullback from Friday’s high confirms recent gains as corrective. Resistance at the 20-day EMA has been breached, however, price has remained below resistance at 0.8656, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of this average would highlight a stronger reversal. For bears, clearance of 0.8518, the Jun 19 low, would confirm a resumption of the trend.

JGBs slid sharply Thursday, as hawkish Ueda comments prompted a correction. The bounce Friday helped stall any more protracted pullback, although the gap with next resistance at 149.17 remains. The strong recovery from 147.27, the Apr 18 low confirms the corrective nature of the recent pullback, keeping medium-term attention on 149.53, the Mar 22 high and the bull trigger. A break of this level would confirm a resumption of the uptrend. To the downside, the 50-dma provides support at 147.31, just above the Apr 18 low.
