EURGBP at 3-Month Lows, Bears Looking for a Break Below 0.8840
EURGBP trades flat at 0.8863, close to 3-month lows after PM Boris Johnson reiterated after the meeting with Junker that he would not request an extension. On the macro front, Italy Consumer Price Index (EU Norm) (year over year) matched forecasts of 0.5% in August.
On the technical analysis side the bears are in control for the short term. On the downside, first support stands at 0.8849 today’s low, while next barrier is at 0.8840 the 200-day moving average. On the upside immediate resistance stands at 0.8901 today’s high, while more offers will emerge at the 0.8938 the 100-day moving average. Bears need to take out the 200-day moving average that will pave the way for a move down to 0.87. Investors holding short positions can sit comfortably as long as the pair trades below 0.89. For those looking to buy the pair, an entry point can be the 200-day moving average.
