FxWirePro: EUR/GBP breaks major trendline resistance at 0.8870 to hit 8-month highs at 0.8938, bias higher

  • EUR/GBP has broken out of major channel top resistance at 0.8870, bias higher.
     
  • The pair hit 8-month highs at 0.8938 and we see scope for further upside.
     
  • BOE MPC member Broadbent’s speech disappointed market participants expecting some hawkish comments. 
     
  • Broadbent in his speech overnight failed to touch upon monetary policy or economic outlook.
     
  • On the otherside, recent hawkish comments by the ECB Chief Draghi & other ECB members will continue to lend support to the Euro.
     
  • Technical indicators on daily and weekly charts are biased higher, 0.90 next bull target.
     
  • 20-DMA is strong support at 0.8808 and we see weakness only on break below.
     

Support levels - 0.89, 0.8873 (5-DMA), 0.8870 (channel top), 0.8808 (20-DMA) 

Resistance levels - 0.90, 0.9024 (Nov 9 highs), 0.9058 (Oct 17 high)
