Short-Term Resistance Breach Poses Risks For Further Sterling Weakness

EURGBP
  • Recent gains in EURGBP resulted in a move above the 20-day EMA and attention is now on the potential close above the 50-day EMA at 0.8507 a clear break of which would improve short-term conditions for bulls and signal scope for a stronger near-term recovery.
  • Additionally, the breach of short-term horizontal resistance for the pair above 0.8513 has not only exacerbated the short-term sterling weakness but adds weight to the potentially bullish scenario.
  • This would initially open 0.8561, 61.8% of the Sep 29 - Oct 26 sell-off. Potential targets for the move include the September highs at 0.8658. The trigger for a resumption of weakness remains unchanged at 0.8403
