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.

EUR/USD trims gains, back below 1.1800

EUR/USD now loses some upside momentum, returning to the area below the 1.1800 support as the Greenback manages to regain some composure following the SCOTUS-led pullback earlier in the session.

GBP/USD off highs, recedes to the sub-1.3500 area

Following earlier highs north of 1.3500 the figure, GBP/USD now faces some renewed downside pressure, revisiting the 1.3490 zone as the US Dollar manages to regain some upside impulse in the latter part of the NA session on Friday.

Gold climbs to weekly tops, approaches $5,100/oz

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place at the end of the week, now hitting fresh weekly highs and retargeting the key $5,100 mark per troy ounce. The move higher in the yellow metal comes in response to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and modest losses in the US Dollar.
