EUR/GBP trades with gains and consolidating Wednesday’s losses, eyes on bearish convergence

  • The EUR/GBP currently stands at 0.8630, marking a slight gain of 0.20%.
  • The RSI and MACD on the daily chart suggest that bears are taking a breather.
  • The pair remains below key SMAs, reflecting a broader selling bias.

In Thursday's session, the EUR/GBP was recorded at 0.8630, gaining 0.20% with a peak at 0.8640. The pair demonstrated neutrality, leaning towards bearish on the daily chart, with bears taking short respites after Wednesday's downswing of 0.50%. Meanwhile, the four-hour chart outlook remains negative despite the brief recovery.

The technical indicators on the daily chart reveal a particularly unfavorable situation for the bulls. From the larger perspective, the pair is lodged beneath the 20, 100, and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), which seem to converge towards the 0.8650 area to perform a bearish crossover. This signals that the sellers maintain a robust grip over the broader scenario, and in case the crossover comes into fruition, more downside may be incoming. Despite revealing a positive incline, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) lingers in the negative territory. This suggests a lack of buying strength despite the recovery, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is still in negative territory.

Switching to the shorter-term perspective, mirrored in the four-hour chart, the overall seller dominance becomes more pronounced. The indicators persist in their negative stance, with the four-hour RSI showing a descending slope within the negative area, further reinforcing the bearish momentum. The four-hour MACD, too, mirrors this bearish sentiment with a series of declining green bars. Despite the bear's action taking a brief respite, the substantial downward movement of 0.50% on Wednesday illustrates that the bears still hold considerable power. It underscores a short-term technical scenario that is heavily swayed towards more selling.

Has Bitcoin really escaped the macro forces it was built to fight?
Over 17 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto designed Bitcoin (BTC) on the back of a global financial crisis as an alternative to the global monetary system outside the control of central banks, governments and traditional intermediaries.
