EUR/GBP edged higher to 0.8974 last week but retreated since then. Initial bias remains neutral this week first and some more consolidation could be seen. But further rise is expected as long as 0.8871 support holds. Break of 0.8974 will resume larger rally to 0.9101 key resistance next. However, considering bearish divergence condition in 4 hour MACD, break of 0.8871 will indicate short term topping. Deeper pull back could be seen to 55 day EMA (now at 0.8781).
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 0.8527). 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, if upside is rejected by 0.9101.
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 38.2% retracement of 0.6935 to 0.9306 at 0.8400 holds, further rise should be seen through 0.9305 to 0.9799 and above down the road.
