EUR/GBP Candlestick Technical Analysis | 19 January 2011

EUR/GBP Candlestick Technical Analysis | 19 January 2011

This week the EUR/GBP pair continued trading down. Earlier the EUR/GBP dropped after it could not break the support level at 0.8650.

As mentioned before, successful breakout of the support level near 0.8430-0.8450 targeted the pair to 0.8143.

The view on the currency pair remains bearish as earlier the EUR/GBP has formed a combination of Bearish Engulfing candlesticks in a downward trend.

In addition, the support level breakthrough at 0.8535 proves that this point of view is correct. Now the pair is likely to decline to 0.7750-0.7700.

The downside movement is supported by the fact that this combination of candlesticks was formed near the upper line of the downward trend where the bulls could not solidify, the bears started increasing their influence and the rebound took place.

It is worth pointing out that short positions should be closed in case of breakthrough of Fibonacci correction level 50.0, as it will mean that the downtrend is overcome and the currency pair will target to 0.98.
