The Euro (EUR) posts marginal gains against the British Pound (GBP) on Wednesday and extends losses for the third consecutive day, testing April lows at the 0.8685 area, which, so far, has held the bears.
The Pound is keeping the upper hand amid a moderate risk-averse sentiment this week. Hopes of a new round of negotiations between the US and Iran were confirmed late Tuesday by US President Trump, who suggested in a New York Post Interview that peace talks might resume in Pakistan in the next two days.
Also on Tuesday, comments from European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde, warning that the Eurozone Economy is approaching adverse scenarios, amid the energy shock caused by Iran’s conflict, added pressure on the Euro.
Technical Analysis
The four-hour chart shows the EUR/GBP under growing bearish pressure after breaching the ascending trendline support from mid-March lows. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) slips toward the mid-30s, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line holds below zero and is barely negative, altogether pointing to a weakening momentum.
Bears remain focused on the April 8 low, in the area of 0.8685, which would open the door to a deeper correction. In that case, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the late March-early April rally, at 0.8660, and the March 24 and 26 lows, in the 0.8637 area, emerge as the next targets.
On the topside, previous support at 0.8696 (April 13 low) and the reverse trendline, now around 0.8710, are likely to test potential bullish reactions, ahead of the 0.8720 area (April 12 high).
