What to Watch: EUR/GBP

This pair has been trending lower for quite some time, and it looks like another bearish correction opportunity is poppin’ up!


Price found support at the .8400 handle and is pulling up to the former support at .8430, which happens to line up with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level.



If this is enough to keep gains in check, EUR/GBP could slump back to the lows or make new ones!

Stochastic is already indicating overbought conditions or exhaustion among buyers, so sellers could take advantage and regain the upper hand.


The 100 SMA is below the 200 SMA as well, confirming that resistance levels are likely to hold.


If you’re hoping to catch a more conservative entry, a larger correction might still reach the 61.8% Fib that lines up with a falling trend line and is near the .8450 minor psychological mark.
