On September 11, EUR/GBP
climbed to a near six-month high at 0.9290. Last week, the price retreated to a
lower trading zone 0.9189 – 0.9014 then closed a weekly candlestick in the red
with a 1.0% loss. A daily close above the high
end of the trading zone ie, above 0.9189 signals that bulls may try to re-test
the March 19 high at 0.9498. On the other hand, a daily
close below the low end of the zone ie, below 0.9014 may encourage bears to
press towards the monthly support level at 0.8890 ( the July 2019 low). EUR/GBP Four Hour Price Chart ( August 27- September 20, 2020)

break below the 0.9100 handle could press the pair towards0.9029. As such, the
support and resistance levels underlined on the chart should be kept in focus.
