EUR/GBP Price Analysis: Gathers momentum, trades at around six-month high

EUR/GBP continues its upward trajectory for the third day, retreating slightly from a six-month high of 0.8765.
A significant break above the 200-day moving average has fueled the pair's recent gains, with a monthly increase of over 0.59%.
On the downside, an EUR/GBP move below the November 14 swing low of 0.8688 could see the pair testing the 200-day SMA, followed by the 50-day SMA at 0.8674.

The EUR/GBP extended its advance for the third consecutive day, though it retreated from the six-month high reached on Thursday at 0.8765. On Friday, the cross-pair exchanges hands at 0.8753, post gains of 0.14%, ahead of the weekend.

After breaking above the 200-day moving average (DMA), the pair has extended its gains sharply. Since the beginning of November, the pair has gained more than 0.59%, with buyers eyeing additional gains.

The EUR/GBP's next resistance level is at 0.8800 before it reaches the May 3 high at 0.8834 before challenging the February 17 daily high of 0.8928. Once cleared, the next ceiling level would be the year-to-date (YTD) high of 0.8978.

On the other hand, if EUR/GBP sellers drag prices below the latest swing low reached on November 14 at 0.8688, the pair would dive toward the 200-day moving average (DMA), before challenging the 50-day moving average (DMA) at 0.8674.

GBP/USD revisits 1.3530; Dollar pushes harder

GBP/USD adds to the weekly correction and recedes toward the 1.3530 zone on Friday. Indeed, Cable faces increasing selling pressure on the back of extra gains in the Greenback, particularly fuelled by Chair Warsh’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium and the US NFP Annual Revision (-79K).

Gold challenges its 200-day SMA near $4,530
