Talking Points:

• EUR/GBP Technical Strategy: Flat

• Support: 0.7117, 0.7055, 0.6982

• Resistance: 0.7155, 0.7218, 0.7268

The Euro moved higher against the British Pound as expected after putting in a Bullish Engulfing candlestick pattern. Near-term resistance is at 0.7155, the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 38.2% level at 7218. Alternatively, a reversal below the 14.6% Fib at 0.7117 clears the way for a test of the May 27 low at 0.7055.

Prices are wedged too closely between near-term support and resistance levels to justify taking a trade on a long or short side from a risk/reward perspective. With that in mind, we will continue to stand aside until a more attractive opportunity presents itself.
