EUR/GBP Price Analysis: Advances for the fifth day, secure 0.8700 as solid support

  • EUR/GBP maintains its upward momentum, trading at 0.8731, as it solidifies the 0.8700 level as a crucial support.
  • The pair shows a bullish bias, but a failure to surpass the 0.8755 high could invite bearish activity.
  • Key levels to watch include resistance at 0.8800 and 0.8834, with support at the 200-DMA of 0.8688 and the 50-DMA at 0.8657.

EUR/GBP climbed during Friday’s session, extending its rally to five consecutive days, gaining so far 0.89% in the week, cementing the 0.8700 psychological level as solid support for the next week. At the time of writing, the cross-pair trades at 0.8731, up a decent 0.13%.

The EUR/GBP pair is bullish biased but downside risks remain. Unless buyers reclaim today’s high at 0.8755, bears are lurking. In the event of a bullish resumption, the cross’s first resistance would be the 0.8800 mark, followed by the May 3 high at 0.8834, followed by April’s 25 high at 0.8875.

Conversely, if EUR/GBP drops below 0.8700, the first support would be the 200-day moving average (DMA) previously broken at 0.8688 followed by the 50-DMA at 0.8657, before diving to the latest cycle low of 0.8649.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP pare gains despite increasing hopes of upcoming Fed rate cut

Bitcoin is steadying above $91,000 at the time of writing on Friday. Ethereum remains above $3,100, reflecting positive sentiment ahead of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy meeting on December 10.

Week ahead – Rate cut or market shock? The Fed decides

Fed rate cut widely expected; dot plot and overall meeting rhetoric also matter. Risk appetite is supported by Fed rate cut expectations; cryptos show signs of life. RBA, BoC and SNB also meet; chances of surprises are relatively low.

Ripple faces persistent bear risks, shrugging off ETF inflows

Ripple is extending its decline for the second consecutive day, trading at $2.06 at the time of writing on Friday. Sentiment surrounding the cross-border remittance token continues to lag despite steady inflows into XRP spot ETFs.
