- EUR/GBP edges lower to 0.8445 on Thursday, maintaining a cautious tone near key support levels.
- Momentum wanes as the pair approaches the 200-day SMA at 0.8420.
- Technical signals suggest limited upside unless buyers reclaim the 0.8465 resistance zone.
The EUR/GBP pair edged lower on Thursday, slipping to 0.8445 as it drifts closer to the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), positioned around 0.8420.
Technical indicators reflect a waning bullish bias. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains at 65, staying in positive territory but showing no signs of further advancement, pointing to a neutral stance. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram continues to display decreasing green bars, highlighting diminishing upward pressure and raising the possibility of further downside.
In the immediate term, the 200-day SMA at 0.8420 serves as a pivotal support level; a sustained breach below this could open the door for a move toward the 0.8400 mark. On the upside, recovery efforts will need to reclaim 0.8465 to challenge the 0.8500 psychological resistance, which would mark a significant improvement in the pair’s outlook.
