- ECB President Draghi’s dovish comments at yesterday's speech continues to weigh on the Euro.
- Draghi said it’s too early to cheer on bloc’s economic recovery, suggesting that he is in no hurry to raise rates or resort to tapering.
- EUR/GBP edges lower for the 5th straight session, extends cautious trade ahead of BoE.
- Technical indicators turn bearish after decisive close below 20-DMA, scope for downside.
- Immediate support seen at 0.8348 (38.2% Fib), violation there could see drag upto 0.83 (triple bottom).
- Focus on the UK manufacturing and industrial production data due on the cards ahead of the BOE meet.
- BOE is likely to maintain a dovish stance, with inflation overshooting in recent times that may call for a rate cut in near-term.
Support levels - 0.8348 (38.2% Fib of 0.6930 to 0.9225 rise), 0.83 (Dec 5 2016 & Apr 18 low)
Resistance levels - 0.8423 (5-DMA), 0.8436 (20-DMA), 0.8490 (trendline)
