EUR/GBP Technical Analysis: Bullish breakthrough 1-month old trading range seems imminent

Haresh Menghani FXStreet

• Barring few knee-jerk reactions, the cross has been oscillating in a broader range over the past one month and points to indecision over the near-term direction.

• Meanwhile, the range-bound price action constituted towards the formation of a rectangle on the daily chart, usually seen as a continuation pattern - bullish in this case.

• However, the fact that the cross has managed to hold above important moving averages - 50, 100 & 200-day SMAs, further reinforce the near-term constructive outlook.

• Bullish technical indicators on hourly/daily charts add credence and thus, increase prospects for an eventual breakout, paving the way for gains to the 0.9100 handle.
