Talking Points:

  • EUR/GBP Technical Strategy: Flat
  • Support: 0.7319, 0.7268, 0.7218
  • Resistance: 0.7381, 0.7482, 0.7556

The Euro moved higher against the British Pound as expected after putting in a Bullish Engulfing candlestick pattern. Near-term resistance is at 0.7381, the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the May 7 high at 0.7482. Alternatively, a reversal below the 61.8% Fib at 0.7319 clears the way for a test of the 50% retracement at 0.7268.

Prices are wedged too closely between near-term support and resistance levels to justify taking a trade on a long or short side from a risk/reward perspective. With that in mind, we will continue to stand aside until a more attractive opportunity presents itself.
