EUR/GBP edged higher to 0.8923 last week but continued to lose upside momentum, as seen in 4 hour MACD. Initial bias remains neutral this week first. On the downside, break of 0.8847 minor support will argue that the rebound form 0.8688 has completed. In such case, intraday bias will be turned back to the downside for 0.8688 support. Break will resume whole fall from 0.9305. On the upside, break of 0.8981 resistance is needed to confirm upside momentum. And in that case, near term outlook will be turned bullish for retesting 0.9305.
In the bigger picture, there are various ways to interpret price actions from 0.9304 high. But after all, firm break of 0.9304/5 is needed to confirm up trend resumption. Otherwise, range trading will continue with risk of deeper fall. And in that case, EUR/GBP could have a retest on 0.8303. But we’d expect strong support from 0.8116 cluster support (50% retracement of 0.6935 to 0.9304 at 0.8120) to contain downside.
In the long term picture, we’re holding on to the view that rise from 0.6935 (2015 low) is resuming the up trend from 0.5680 (2000 low). Hence, after the consolidation from 0.9304 completes, we’d expect another medium term up trend through 0.9799 to 100% projection of 0.5680 to 0.9799 from 0.6935 at 1.1054.
