EUR/GBP Price Analysis: Seven-week-old falling trendline guards immediate upside

  • EUR/GBP struggles for direction near a 10-week low.
  • Oversold RSI favors a pullback but short-term falling resistance line challenges buyers.

EUR/GBP seesaws around the previous day’s close while taking rounds to 0.8305 ahead of the European session on Wednesday. The pair dropped to the lowest in a year on Tuesday but bounced back amid oversold RSI conditions. Even so, a descending trend line from January 01 restricts the pair’s near-term pullback.

Hence, the pair’s recovery to January-end lows near 0.8387 can’t be expected unless it stays strong above 0.8353 resistance-line.

If at all buyers manage to dominate beyond 0.8387, February 05 low near 0.8430 and the monthly top surrounding 0.8540 will gain market’s attention

Until then, sellers will keep targeting December 2019 low near 0.8275 while also aiming for July 2016 low near 0.8250 during further declines.

If prices stay weak below 0.8250, April 2016 top close to 0.8120 could return to the charts.

EUR/USD onsolidates around mid-1.1800s as traders keenly await FOMC Minutes

The EUR/USD pair struggles to capitalize on the previous day's goodish rebound from the 1.1800 neighborhood, or a one-and-a-half-week low, and consolidates in a narrow band during the Asian session on Wednesday. Spot prices currently trade just below mid-1.1800s, nearly unchanged for the day.

GBP/USD bounces off lows, retargets 1.3550

After bottoming out just below the 1.3500 yardstick, GBP/USD now gathers some fresh bids and advances to the 1.3530-1.3540 band in the latter part of Tuesday’s session. Cable’s recovery comes as the Greenback surrenders part of its advance, although it keeps the bullish bias well in place for the day.

Gold bounces back toward $4,900, looks to FOMC Minutes

Gold is attempting a bounce from the $4,850 level, having touched a one-week low on Tuesday. Signs of progress in US–Iran talks dented demand for the traditional safe-haven bullion, weighing on Gold in early trades. However, rising bets for more Fed rate cuts keep the US Dollar bulls on the defensive and act as a tailwind for the non-yielding yellow metal. Traders now seem reluctant ahead of the FOMC Minutes, which would offer cues about the Fed's rate-cut path and provide some meaningful impetus.
