EUR/GBP Analysis: Upbeat Data Amid Continued Bearish Bias
EUR/GBP has surged sharply following positive Eurozone data, but the intraday bias remains bearish as long as resistance at 0.8380 holds. Currently, the pair has hit a low of 0.83067 and is trading around 0.83050.
Economic Context:
Germany's GDP data for Q3 2024 indicates a modest recovery, showing a growth of 0.2% from the previous quarter after a contraction of 0.1% in Q2. However, year-on-year GDP remains unchanged, underscoring ongoing economic challenges. Meanwhile, the Eurozone GDP grew by 0.4% quarter-on-quarter and 0.6% year-on-year, suggesting a stable recovery.
Technical Analysis
- The pair is currently below the 34- and 55-EMA on the 4-hour chart.
- Bearish Trend Confirmation: If the price stays below 0.8300, it will confirm a bearish trend, with a potential drop to 0.8280 or 0.8235.
- Near-Term Resistance: The current resistance level is around 0.8360. A break above this could lead to movements towards 0.8380, 0.8400, or 0.8435. The bearish outlook would be invalidated only if prices exceed 0.8435.
