Previous: EUR/GBP Confirming a Double Bottom (7/30)
EUR/GBP 4H Chart 7/30/2012 8:10AM EDT
The EUR/GBP’s double-bottom-confirming price action was short-lived as it ended last Friday session (7/27) with a sharp rejection at the 0.7870 pivot. The 4H chart shows that the bearish momentum in the short to medium term is preserved as the RSI failed to break above 60 after it had been able to dip below 30.
It is starting this week sliding further during the 7/30 session, accelerating a bit as we start the US session. The 4H chart shows the pair cracking 0.78 and attacking the consolidation support trendline threatening bearish continuation.
The first target is the 0.7750-0.7760 low. A break below that, with the RSI falling below 40 exposes the next key support.
Previous FXTimes updates have been noting the 0.77 area as a key support area going back to the 2008 consolidation lows. If the market does push through 0.7750, and slow down above 0.77, we might consider a more significant correction than the one we had last week.
