EUR/GBP Daily Price Chart (June 19 - September 20, 2020)




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).

On September 16, EUR/GBP traded below the bullish trendline support originated from the September 3 low at 0.8864 and changed the price trend from bullish to sideways.

Therefore, a break above 0.9206 may trigger a rally towards the September 11 high at 0.9290, while a 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.
