FxWirePro: EUR/GBP range bound, focus on BoE policy decision and inflation report
Thursday, November 3, 2016 7:08 AM UTC
- EUR/GBP trades an extremely narrow 16 pip range into the European session.
- Markets focus on BoE policy rate decision along with inflation forecasts for further impetus on the pair.
- Ongoing sterling depreciation and slightly firmer-than-expected activity data (notably the Q3 preliminary GDP outturn) have pushed back BoE rate cut expectations.
- Major support levels - 0.8977 (20-DMA), 0.8955 (major trendline), 0.8885 (Oct 25 low)
- Major resistance levels - 0.9049 (Nov 2 high), 0.9058 (Oct 17 high), 0.91
- We see weakness only on breakout below trendline at 0.8955, test of 0.8885 and then 0.8827 levels likely.
