EUR/GBP: Downside risks from head and shoulders – Societe Generale

Societe Generale’s Kenneth Broux and colleagues note that EUR/GBP has formed a lower high near 0.8740 and is struggling above its 200‑day moving average, with price action resembling a Head and Shoulders pattern. They highlight 0.8610 as key support, with potential downside projections to 0.8560/0.8535 and 0.8475, while a move above 0.8740 would negate the bearish setup.

Head and Shoulders points to weakness

"EUR/GBP carved out a lower high near 0.8740 earlier in April and has struggled to maintain above the 200‑DMA."

"Price action has shaped a pattern resembling a Head and Shoulders, which signals potential downside."

"The neckline around 0.8610 is a key support."

"A break below this could lead to a deeper pullback toward projections at 0.8560/0.8535, followed by 0.8475."

"Overcoming the recent pivot high at 0.8740 would be crucial to negate the formation."
