2017.05.1705:30:00UTC+00Fxwirepro: Eur/gbp Fails to Hold Above 0.86 Handle, Finds Stiff Resistance at 0.8595

  • EUR/GBP edges lower from session highs at 0.8614 and is currently trading at 0.8566.
     
  • Pound edges higher after drop in UK ILO unemployment rate which was better than forecasts for an unchanged reading.
     
  • The major finds stiff resistance at 0.8595 (converged trendline and 200-DMA).
     
  • We see upside only on decisive break above. Momentum indicators on weekly charts are biased higher.
     
  • Weekly cloud top at 0.8635 is next major resistance above 0.8595. Scope then for test of 0.87 levels.
     
  • Near-term reversal in trend likely on close below 50-DMA at 0.8539.

Support levels - 0.8516 (23.6% Fib), 0.8513 (5-DMA), 0.85, 0.8460 (20-DMA)

Resistance levels - 0.8595 (converged trendline and 200-DMA), 0.86, 0.7651 (38.2% Fib)

Recommendation: Watch out for break above 200-DMA to go long.
