EUR/GBP Reverses Down at the 200 SMA, After BOE’s Haldane Sees the US Housing Market on Fire
EUR/GBP used to be bearish during Q1 of this year, after the EU-UK trade deal in December last year, This pair fell around 7.5 cents but in early April we saw a jump higher. Although, there was no follow through and since then this pair has been trading sideways.
But, the highs have been getting lower, which suggests that there is some selling pressure still. We decided to open a sell forex signal last friday when the price was retracing higher and today it seems like EUR/GBP ended the retrace at the 200 SMA (purple) on the H4 chart, which has turned into resistance it seems.
The 200 SMA provided solid resistance today
