EUR/GBP eases to 0,8675 after failure to break 0.8685 highs
- The pair treads water with both currencies strengthening against a weak US Dollar.
- Technically, failure to break the reverse trendline, at 0.8700, keeps bears in charge.
The Euro is pulling lower against the British Pound on Monday, following a rejection at the resistance area around 0.8685, although it remains trading within the last few days’ horizontal range, and above the key 0.8650 support area.
The pair treads water with the broader bearish trend intact, and both currencies are trending higher against a softer US Dollar.
On the fundamental front, the UK calendar is practically empty this week, though a batch of strong releases seen last week continues to support the Cable. In the Eurozone, on the contrary, the German IFO Business Climate Index failed cheer investors on Monday. On Tuesday, the focus is on European Central Bank (ECB) president Christine Lagarde, although she is unlikely to say anything new about the bank’s monetary policy.
Technical analysis: Capped below the broken trendline
EUR/GBP broke the trendline support from mid-January lows last week and seems unable to return above it, which suggests that bears are taking back control. The 4-hour Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Signal lines hover around the zero, reinforcing a neutral tone, while the RSI is near 40, highlighting a neutral-to-negative trend.
Monday's low, near 0.8670, is likely to offer some support, but the key support area is at the January 13 and 15 lows around 0.8550. Below here, the September 2025 lows, near 0.8535, would come into focus.
On the upside, bulls would need to breach Monday's high, at 0.8585, and the mentioned trendline, now around 0.8700, to reverse the current bearish pressure and aim for the December 31 and January 21 high, of 0.8745.
