EURGBP is trading just above its recent lows and ahead of a key short-term support at 0.8260, the Nov 11 low. Attention remains on a bullish engulfing candle pattern on Nov 12, that highlights a possible reversal. Key short-term resistance and a bull trigger is 0.8376, the Nov 19 high. On the downside, a break of 0.8260 would cancel the candle pattern and confirm a resumption of the downtrend. This would open 0.8203, the Mar 7 ‘22 low and major support.
Recent gains in Schatz futures highlighted a continuation of the uptrend that started late October. A bullish theme remains intact and the latest move down appears to be a correction. The short-term bull trigger has been defined at 107.480, the Dec 2 and 3 high. Clearance of this level would open 107.505 and 107.592, Fibonacci projection points. Initial support lies at 107.110, last Friday’s low. A break of it would signal scope for a deeper retracement.
