EUR/GBP Technical Strategy: Short at 0.8631
Euro drops to 2-week low vs. British Pound, hints at deeper losses
Short position remains in play, initially targeting move below 0.85
The Euro turned lower against the British Pound as expected after prices put in a bearish Dark Cloud Cover candlestick pattern, dropping to a two-week low. The pair has overturned the break above July’s swing high, seemingly pointing to something more significant than just a corrective pullback in progress and warning of further weakness ahead.
From here, a daily close below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracementat 0.8459 paves the way for a challenge of rising trend line support at 0.8390, followed by the 38.2% level at 0.8295. Alternatively, a move back above support-turned-resistance at 0.8584, the July 6 close,opens the door for a retest of the August 16 high at 0.8725.
A short EUR/GBP trade was triggered at 0.8631.The trade remains in play, initially targeting 0.8459 with a stop-loss to be triggered on a daily close above 0.8725. Half one position will be booked and the stop-loss moved to breakeven when the first objective is hit.
