EUR/GBP Price Forecast: RSI flirts with oversold territory as bears defend key resistance

  • EUR/GBP rises for a second consecutive day as short-covering follows the midweek sell-off.
  • The cross still heads for a fourth straight weekly loss after breaking below the 0.8600 support.
  • Technically, sellers retain control while EUR/GBP trades below its major moving averages.

EUR/GBP edges higher on Friday, extending gains for a second consecutive day as traders cover short positions following the midweek sell-off. At the time of writing, the cross trades around 0.8501 but is still on track for a fourth straight weekly loss.

From a technical perspective, EUR/GBP faces persistent downside pressure after breaking below the multi-month support at 0.8600 on July 1, pushing the cross to a one-year low.

On the daily chart, EUR/GBP trades around 0.8504 and holds below the 50-day, 100-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), which are clustered between 0.8617 and 0.8688.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) trends below 33, just above the oversold threshold of 30, while the Average Directional Index (ADX) at 31 points to a strengthening downtrend.

On the upside, initial resistance appears at 0.8550, followed by the 0.8600 horizontal barrier. Beyond that, the 50-day SMA at 0.8617 and the 100-day SMA at 0.8645 could limit recovery attempts, with the 200-day SMA at 0.8688 acting as a stronger barrier.

On the downside, the next notable support sits at 0.8450. A sustained break below this level could open the door to an extension of the current bearish move.

USD/JPY drops to a one-week low during Thursday’s Asian session, with bears now awaiting a break below multi-week range support near mid-157.00s before placing fresh bets amid a broadly weaker US Dollar.

The estimates keep falling: Why Bitcoin's quantum countdown is accelerating
The threat that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and quantum computing pose to Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies in general is no longer a matter of if hardware will catch up; it is a matter of when. Advances in AI-assisted research are adding a new dimension to the quantum computing threat, although neither technology can currently break Bitcoin’s cryptography on its own.
The Bank of England just got its clearest reason to hike. Here's what it's really watching

UK inflation as measured by the CPI accelerated to 3.5% YoY in September, up from 3.1% in August, according to the Office for National Statistics. This is the highest level since October 2025, exceeding economists' expectations of 3.4% and pushing inflation further from the BoE's 2% target.

What November 3 means for the Fed's rate path and the US Dollar

The USD faces a decisive period ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. While markets anticipate another interest rate increase from the Fed in December, the battle for control of Congress could reshape fiscal policy expectations and, indirectly, the path of US monetary policy in 2027.
