There are three key positive technical developments that have taken form. Firstly, the bullish basing formation has taken shape after a recent retest (23 August 2023) on the major ascending trendline from the 7 March 2022 low of 0.8203.
Secondly, recent price actions have surpassed the key 200-day moving average with a retest and rebound from it during yesterday’s US session (1 November) ex-post FOMC.
Thirdly, the 20 and 50-day moving averages have started to slope upwards with price actions above the 50-day moving average that indicate a potential medium-term uptrend phase is in motion.
Oscillation within a minor ascending channel

In the short-term as seen in the 1-hour chart, the EUR/GBP has evolved into an impulsive up move sequence within a minor ascending channel in place since the 6 September 2023 low.
Watch the 0.8680 key short-term pivotal support (lower boundary of the ascending channel & 20-day moving average) for a potential push-up to retest the 31 October minor swing high area of 0.8750 before the intermediate resistance at 0.8820 (upper boundary of the ascending channel, 2/3May 2023 swing high & Fibonacci extension).
However, a break below 0.8680 negates the bullish tone for a pull-back toward the next intermediate support at 0.8640 (50-day moving average).
