EUR/GBP’s rally continued last week and hit as high as 0.8850, breached 0.8840 resistance. Upside momentum is diminishing mildly as seen in 4 hour MACD. But there is no clear sign of topping yet. Further rise is in favor this week first. Sustained break of 0.8840 will target 0.9101 key resistance next. On the downside, break of 0.8681 resistance turned support is needed to indicate completion of rise from 0.8489. Otherwise, near term outlook will remain cautiously bullish in case of deep retreat.
In the bigger picture, medium term decline from 0.9305 (2017 high) is seen as a corrective move. No change in this view. Current development argues that it might have completed with three waves down to 0.8472, just ahead of 38.2% retracement of 0.6935 (2015 low) to 0.9306 at 0.8400, after hitting 55 month EMA (now at 0.8511). Decisive break of 0.9101 resistance will confirm this bullish case. Nevertheless, as EUR/GBP is still staying inside long term falling channel, correction from 0.9305 could still extend to 0.8400 fibonacci level before completion.
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 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.
