EUR/GBP gyrated higher last week but stayed below 0.8866 resistance. Initial bias remains neutral this week first. Another fall will be expected as long as 0.8866 holds. Below 0.8760 minor support will turn bias to the downside for 0.8688 first. Break will resume whole decline from 0.9305. However, firm break of 0.8866 resistance will indicate near term reversal and turn bias back to the upside for 0.8981 resistance and above.
In the bigger picture, there are various ways to interpret price actions from 0.9304 high. But after all, firm break of 0.9304/5 is needed to confirm up trend resumption. Otherwise, range trading will continue with risk of deeper fall. And in that case, EUR/GBP could have a retest on 0.8303. But we’d expect strong support from 0.8116 cluster support (50% retracement of 0.6935 to 0.9304 at 0.8120) to contain downside.
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). Hence, after the correction from 0.9304 completes, we’d expect another medium term up trend through 0.9799 to 100% projection of 0.5680 to 0.9799 from 0.6935 at 1.1054.
