• EUR/GBP Technical Strategy: Short at 0.7040
• Support: 0.7025, 0.6930, 0.6893
• Resistance: 0.7088, 0.7141, 0.7206

The Euro corrected higher against the British Pound after finding interim support below the 0.71 figure. Near-term resistance is at 0.7088, the 14.6% Fibonacci expansion, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 38.2% Fib retracement at 0.7141. Alternatively, a move below the 0.7025-39 area (August 18 low, 23.6% expansion) clears the way for a test of the 0.6930-58 zone (July 17 low, 38.2% expansion).

We entered short EURGBP at 0.7040, initially targeting 0.6958. A stop-loss is set to trigger on a daily close above 0.7088. We will book profit on half of the position and trail the stop-loss to the breakeven level after the first target is hit.
