EUR/GBP Slip Unnerves the Bulls
22 April 2010
The FX Trader's view -
MONTHLY CHART: So far, the long term 38.2% retracement has proved supportive, but failure to move decisively away from this threatens to put it under pressure once more A break below here and the Jun-09 low near 0.8400 would favour medium term bears.

DAILY CHART: After clear failure at resistance near 0.9150 the subsequent deep pullback recently found support from a 76.4% level. Bulls needed (and still need) a recovery back through the old return line around 0.8900 to see downside risk start to fade. But 76.4% support has given way now, exposing the 0.8593 Jan low (itself near to a longer term 76.4% level). A degree of support is likely here, but later failure would then see little in the way of a return to the Jun-09 low - further downside targets would also be explored in future editions of the FX Specialist Guide (e.g., the first interesting Fibo projection would come in around 0.8300). |
