EUR/GBP opened with a bearish gap down and hit fresh monthly lows at 0.7749.
The pair has broken below strong trendline support at 0.7780 and price action has dipped into the cloud.
The pair has closed the bearish gap and has edged higher as markets await German IFO data due later today.
Consensus expectation is for a generalized albeit slight improvement during the current month. Any disappointment could drag the pair lower, tests of 0.7680 then likely.
Immediate supports are located at 0.7735 (March 14th lows), 0.7683 (110 EMA) and 0.7645 (cloud base).
On the upside, resistance is seen at 0.7795 (session high and trendline), 0.7826 (55-EMA) and 0.7842 (5-DMA).
On the technical side, major moving averages are biased lower, momentum studies are bearish.
Recommendation: Good to sell rallies around 0.7790/0.78, SL: 0.7850, TP: 0.7750/0.7735/0.77/0.7680
