Talking Points:

• EUR/GBP Technical Strategy: Flat

• Support: 0.7342, 0.7216, 0.7139

• Resistance: 0.7443, 0.7545, 0.7670

The Euro moved upward against the British Pound as expected after producing a bullish Morning Star candlestick pattern. Near-term resistance is at 0.7443, the 50% Fibonacci retracement, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 61.8% level at 0.7545. Alternatively, a turn back below the 38.2% Fib at 0.7342clears the way for a challenge of the 23.6% retracement at 0.7216.

Our long-term outlook calls for broad-based Euro weakness. With that in mind, we will treat any on-coming gains as corrective, looking to enter short at a more attractive level rather than a seeing the move higher as a buying opportunity. In the meantime, we remain flat.
