EUR/GBP 4-hour chart
On the 4-hour chart, the EUR/GBP cross has been moving lower since it made a high of 0.8642. The multiple top formations make it a critical level to trade. The descending trendline from the mentioned level acts as a barrier for the bulls.
A sustained move above the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at the 0.8572 mark, could bring more buying opportunities for EUR/GBP bulls. The immediate resistance emerges at the 0.8585 horizontal resistance level.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator trades above the midline, with a bullish crossover. Any uptick in the MACD would amplify the buying pressure toward June 21 high at the 0.8601 key psychological mark.
The next area of resistance could be located near the 0.8620 horizontal resistance level.
Alternatively, if price sustains below the session's low at 0.8570, then it could attempt to test the 08565 horizontal support level.
Next, EUR/GBP bears would flex their muscle at the 0.8545 horizontal support level followed by June 24 low in the vicinity of 0.8530 area.
