EUR/GBP dropped to as low as 0.8617 last week and breached 0.8620 key support level. But a temporary low was formed and initial bias is turned neutral this week first. At this point, we’d continue to expect strong support from 0.8620 to contain downside to bring rebound. On the upside, above 0.8725 minor resistance will turn bias to the upside for 0.8763/8862 resistance zone first. However, sustained break of 0.8620 will resume larger decline from 0.9305 and target 100% projection of 0.9305 to 0.8620 from 0.9101 at 0.8416.
In the bigger picture, EUR/GBP is seen as staying in long term range pattern started at 0.9304 (2016 high). The medium term range is set between 0.8620 and 0.9101. Downside breakout of 0.8620 will pave the way back to 0.8312 support . Break of 0.9101 will bring retest of 0.9304/5 resistance.
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). As long as 0.8116 cluster support (50% retracement of 0.6935 to 0.9304 at 0.8120) holds, further rise should be seen through 0.9305 to 0.9799 and above down the road.
