Daily Technical Strategist On EURGBP

EURGBP- Loses Upside Momentum. Hesitates.

EURGBP- With further recovery higher stalling and taking back most of its intraday gains, it now looks to begin a correction of its move from the 0.8080 to 0.8152. If this is eventually triggered, expect a retarget of the 0.8116 level where a violation if seen will activate further downside towards the 0.8080 level where a violation will turn attention to the 0.8050 level. Further down, support comes in at the 0.8050 level. On the other hand, EURGBP will have to return above the 0.8152 level to prove our downside view wrong. In such a case, the 0.8195 level will be aimed at where a breach will turn focus to the 0.8250 level. On further upside, a break of that level will set the stage for a run at the 0.8300 level. Its daily RSI is bullish and supportive of this view. All in all, the cross remains biased to the upside in the short term on correction but is now hesitating.

The Week Ahead On USDCHF

USDCHF: Looks To Trigger More Corrective Weakness.

USDCHF: While the pair’s three-week uptrend may be intact, corrective pullback risk continues to develop. With USDCHF closing flat the past week, we think a correction of the mentioned uptrend could be building up further. In such a case, the 0.8932 level comes in as the next downside objective. A turn below here will expose the 0.8896 level where a breach will pave the way for a run at 0.8859 level and possibly lower towards the 0.8800 level. Conversely, on the upside, resistance resides at the 0.8989 level where a break will set the stage for the resumption of its uptrend towards the 0.9050 level. Further out, resistance resides at the 0.9100 level and then the 0.9150 level. Its weekly RSI is bullish and pointing higher supporting this view. All in all, the pair remains biased to the upside in the short term but now faces the risk of correction lower.
