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.

GBP/USD slips toward 1.3350 after soft UK CPI data

GBP/USD erases recovery gains and slips toward 1.3350 in the European session on Wednesday. The UK annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation cooled to 2.6% in June against the market forecast of 2.7%, tempering the British Pound's rebound from weekly troughs. Traders also assess the ongoing Mideast tensions amid a pause in the US Dollar uptrend.

EUR/USD holds above 1.1400 amid US Dollar retreat

EUR/USD holds positive ground above 1.1400 in European trading on Wednesday, helped by hawkish ECB expectations and a broad US Dollar retreat. However, persisting Middle East tensions and surging Oil prices keep the pair's upside elusive.

Gold holds gains above $4,100 undaunted by risk-off markets

Gold extends gains for the fourth consecutive day, standing comfortably above $4,100, unfazed by the risk-off market amid rising tensions in Iran and higher Oil prices. The pair has rallied nearly 2.5% so far this week and is on track for its best weekly performance in more than three months.

Cardano: Short-term recovery lacks retail support

Cardano price edges lower after the 50-day Exponential Moving Average at $1.770 capped two consecutive days of recovery seen earlier this week. ADA futures point to waning retail traction as Open Interest and trading volume decline amid elevated long liquidations. The technical outlook for ADA is bearish, as momentum remains subdued below a resistance trendline near $0.1782.

Chip stocks are more volatile than Oil

I continue to start the day by looking at these two charts: US crude & Kospi. The former is extending gains, trading above $86 per barrel for WTI and $92 per barrel for Brent, while the Kospi is up more than 4.5%, led higher by Korean chipmakers following a similar jump in VanEck's Semiconductor ETF yesterday.

US Dollar mid-year outlook: Exceptional currency, exceptional risks?

The US Dollar enters the second half of 2026 in a markedly different position from a year ago. The King currency has recovered, reflecting persistent US inflation, changing expectations for Fed policy, geopolitical tensions and renewed demand for defensive assets.
