Talking Points:

• EUR/GBP Technical Strategy: Flat

• Support: 0.6985, 0.6930, 0.6876

• Resistance: 0.7051, 0.7099, 0.7159

The Euro moved lower against the British Pound as expected after prices put in a bearish Dark Cloud Cover candlestick pattern. Near-term support is at 0.6985, the 38.2% Fibonacci expansion, with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the 50% level at 0.6930. Alternatively, a turn back above the 23.6% Fib at 0.7051 clears the way for a test of trend line resistance at 0.7099.

The available trading range is too narrow to justify entering a trade on the long or short side from a risk/reward perspective. With that in mind, we will remain flat for now, waiting for price action to offer a more compelling opportunity down the road.
