EUR/GBP stayed in consolidation below 0.8992 last week and outlook is unchanged. Further rise is expected as long as 0.8872 support holds and break of 0.8992 is expected. However, considering bearish divergence condition in4 hour MACD, we’d look for topping signal as it approaches 0.9101 key resistance. On the downside, break of 0.8872 will indicate short term topping. In this case, deeper pull back could be seen to 55 day EMA (now at 0.8830) first.
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.
