EUR/GBP Price Analysis: Bears may wish to sit this one out, or reduce risk
|- EUR/GBP is bearish below monthly resistance and offers a number of possible trading opportunities.
- There has to be a tossup between sitting on the sidelines or being the contrarian at reduced risk.
The pound is vulnerable to Brexit risks, COVID-19 and negative interest rate sentiment. However, the technical outlook is bearish while the monthly resistance rejects rallies.
Playing to the current beat, the bias is therefore to the downside, from a technical stance. This gives rise to a number of opportunities that could come of a continuation to the downside as follows:

The above scenario could be facilitated with a trade setup at reduced risk, considering the daily support structure and bearish Brexit fundamentals for the pound.
However, a break below the support structure could give rise to a 'buy the break and sell the resistance' setup to target the monthly Point of Control in the low 0.88 area.
As can be seen, this preference offers a double trading opportunity and huge downside potential on the break to monthly demand.
