Below 0.8370: EUR/GBP Price Forecast as Crude recovery holds back Euro

  • 0.8370 remains a hurdle for EUR/GBP. The pair is holding above its previous range ceiling at 0.8360 but has yet to establish itself above the higher level.
  • A modest oil price recovery is putting pressure on the Euro despite continued positive market sentiment.
  • October’s easing inflation pressures were confirmed by Germany’s final HICP figures.

0.8370 remains out of reach as a sustained level for EUR/GBP. On Wednesday, the Euro (EUR) is little changed against the British Pound (GBP), with recovering oil prices countering upbeat risk sentiment. The pair is still holding above 0.8360, the upper boundary of its previous trading range.

Brent Oil has regained the $90 level as crude oil recovers from Tuesday’s lows. Traders are becoming increasingly cautious about the lack of headway in negotiations for a Middle East peace agreement.

Germany’s Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), published earlier on Wednesday, pointed to a moderate easing of inflation pressures in October. The final figures matched preliminary estimates: prices contracted 0.1% on the month and rose 2.8% year on year in October, compared with respective increases of 0.6% and 3.3% in September.

With few UK releases scheduled for Wednesday, investors are awaiting Thursday’s Q3 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures. Markets are preparing for moderate economic expansion supported by a strong manufacturing sector, which would reinforce hopes of another BoE rate hike in the first months of 2027.

Technical Analysis: Bullish Momentum Builds Across Indicators

Chart Analysis EUR/GBP

At 0.8367, EUR/GBP retains a slightly bullish short-term bias, trading just above the former resistance zone at 0.8360. The Relative Strength Index (14) is tilted towards positive territory, and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is marginally positive. Together, these signals indicate that buyers remain in control provided the pair holds this immediate support.

Sustaining gains beyond 0.8370 is proving difficult for bulls. Above that level, potential resistance lies around 0.8380, the October 28 high, followed by the October 26 high near 0.8400.

Conversely, a bearish move below support around 0.8360, marked by the October 30 and November 2 highs, would bring the November 6 and 9 lows near 0.8335 into focus. The year-to-date lows around 0.8320 would be next.
