EUR/GBP Price Analysis: Skids past key EMAs, as sellers eye 0.8500

  • EUR/GBP slips past 50 and 20-day EMAs, reflecting increased bearish sentiment, trading 0.14% below the opening.
  • EUR/GBP’s breaking daily EMAs and one-month-old support trendline, deeper losses loom for the cross as sellers gain momentum.
  • A close below 0.8600 could accelerate the slide toward July 27 swing low, with a focus on the year’s lowest point. Immediate resistance at 0.8600-0.8610 zone.

The EUR/GBP dropped for the third consecutive day, extending its losses past the 50 and 20-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), the last time seen each at 0.8610 and 0.8603. At the time of writing, the EUR/GBP is trading at 0.8582, below its opening price by 0.14%.

EUR/GBP Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The EUR/GBP is trading sideways, slightly tilted to the downside, after prices fell below all the daily Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), opening the door for further losses. Notably, the EUR/GBP fell to a new two-week low, and on its way down, it has broken a one-month-old support trendline drawn from the yearly lows, suggesting that sellers are gathering momentum.

If EUR/GBP achieves a daily close below 0.8600, the cross could extend its downtrend to the July 27 swing low of 0.8544 before challenging the year-to-date (YTD) low of 0.8504.

On the flip side, if EUR/GBP buyers reclaim 0.8600, the first resistance levels would be the 0.8601/10 area, followed by the 100-day EMA at 0.8646.

GBP/USD defends 1.3300 after strong UK PMI data

Following Thursday's sharp decline, GBP/USD clings to small gains above 1.3300 in the American session on Friday, supported by the upbeat UK Retail Sales and July PMI data. Nevertheless, the pair's upside remains capped as investors cling to a cautious stance amid a further escalation of tensions in the Middle East. The US July PMI data failed to trigger relevant price action.

EUR/USD remains below 1.1400 after mixed US PMIs

EUR/USD pressures daily lows below the 1.1400 mark in the American session on Friday. Mixed S&P Global PMIs, as manufacturing output contracted while services activity expanded in July, triggered no relevant market reaction. The focus remains in Middle East developments and inflation-related concerns.

Gold holds above $4,050 but momentum still missing

Gold builds on its modest intraday bounce and climbs above the $4,050 level on Friday, hitting a fresh daily high amid a modest US Dollar pullback. The fundamental backdrop, however, warrants some caution before confirming that the pullback from an over two-week high, touched on Wednesday, has run its course and positioning for any meaningful upside.

Ethereum: Derivatives interest in ETH improves, but signs of caution remain

Ethereum is hovering slightly below the $1,900 level, down 3% on Thursday following a slight expansion in derivatives interest. The top altcoin's open interest has increased to 14.60 million ETH, marking a 600K ETH increase over the past two days and its highest level since June 7.

XRP retreats as ETF interest cools
Ripple (XRP) slides toward the short-term $1.10 support on Friday, as broader crypto market sentiment weighs on crypto assets. The sell-off mainly stems from fears of inflation in the United States (US) amid the ongoing war in the Middle East and rising Oil prices.
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.
