  • EUR/GBP saw a gap up open on Monday but was unable to extend gains beyond the 0.79 handle.
     
  • 0.7906 is stiff resistance which is 61.8% Fib retrace of 0.8117 (Apr 7th high) to 0.7565 (May 25th low).
     
  • EUR/GBP plunged almost 90-pips in a knee-jerk slump, a wrong big figure entered on an order speculated as the main catalyst behind the move.
     
  • The pair has recovered most of the downside but still remains below 100-DMA at 0.7799.
     
  • A 'shooting star' pattern has been formed. A pattern resembling "Evening Start seen", close below 100-DMA could accentuate downside.
     
  • Downside finds next major support at 0.7720, and then at 0.7693 (61.8% Fib of 0.7565 to 0.79 rally).
     
  • Resistance on the upside aligns at 0.7823 (23.6% Fib), 0.7864 (session highs) and then 0.7876 (cloud base).
    ​

Recommendation: Good to go short on close below 0.7820, SL: 0.79, TP: 0.7775/ 0.7720/ 0.77
