EUR/GBP Price Analysis: Remains subdued and oscillates above 0.8600 amid risk-off impulse

  • EUR/GBP encounters resistance, lingering below the pivotal 200-DMA of 0.8700, spotlighting downside risks.
  • A breach below 0.8605 could unlock further descent, targeting September lows and potentially the YTD low.
  • Recovery above 0.8658 may pave the way for a test of the crucial 0.8700 psychological and technical barrier.

The EUR/GBP extended its losses to five straight trading days and hovers at around the September 28 swing low of 0.8629, amidst a risk-off impulse courtesy of the escalation of the fight between Hamas and Israel, set to extend for the fourth straight day. Therefore, the EUR/GBP edges lower by 0.05%, and exchanges hands at around 0.8635.

The daily chart portrays the pair as neutral biased, but it appears to have bottomed, as shown by price action; nevertheless, as EUR/GBP’s price action remains trading below the 200-day moving average (DMA) of 0.8700, downside risks remain. For a bearish continuation, sellers mist break below the 50-DMA at 0.8605. A breach of the latter and the 0.8600 figure would expose the September 15 daily low of 0.8569, followed by the September 5 low of 0.8523. Once those levels are cleared, up next would be the year-to-date (YTD) low of 0.8492.

Conversely, If EUR/GBP buyers reclaim the October 9 daily high at 0.8658, that would open the door to test the confluence of the figure and the 200-DMA at 0.8700. A decisive break would expose the May 3 high at 0.8834.

Recession on paper: What really moves the Canadian Loonie now?

Statistics Canada handed the headline writers a gift and the analysts a headache. Real GDP shrank 0.1% on an annualized basis in the first quarter, and with the fourth quarter of 2025 revised down to a 1.0% contraction, that is two negative quarters in a row, the textbook definition of a technical recession and Canada's first since the pandemic.
