EUR/GBP Price Analysis: Sellers lick their wounds around mid-0.8500s

  • EUR/GBP bears take a breather around three-week-old support line.
  • Bearish MACD, short-term falling trend line resistance test corrective pullback.
  • June’s low lures sellers, bulls remain divided before refreshing monthly top.

EUR/GBP consolidates recent losses around 0.8545, up 0.05% intraday, amid early Tuesday. The cross-currency pair dropped to an ascending support line from June 23 the previous day before the bears took a breather.

However, MACD signals and the corrective pullback’s inability to cross a three-day-old descending resistance line keep sellers hopeful.

Even if the EUR/GBP buyers manage to cross the 0.8550 immediate hurdle, the 0.8600 threshold and the monthly peak surrounding 0.8620 remain as the key barrier to the north.

On the flip side, June’s low around 0.8530 adds to the downside filters below the stated support line near 0.8535. Though, a sustained trading below 0.8530 won’t hesitate to challenge the yearly bottom close to 0.8470.

During the fall, the 0.8500 round figure may act as an intermediate halt.

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.
