This week, the market has opened with a breakaway gap to the upside providing another bullish signal. Later, the price declined yet remained in the current trading zone 0.8649 β 0.8687. Thus, a close above the high end of the zone may cause a rally towards 0.8723. Further close above that level could mean more bullishness towards 0.8832. In that scenario, the weekly resistance levels underlined on the chart (zoomed in) should be considered.
On the flip side, any close below the low end of the zone could mean bullβs hesitation. This could lead some of them to exit the market allowing the price to fall towards 0.8504. Further close below that level could send EURGBP even lower towards 0.8400 handle. That said, the daily and weekly support levels marked on the chart should be kept in focus.
