EUR/GBP Awaits the Bullish Reversal

The bearish wave that started by the mid of the last week is finding support around 0.7906, the 50% Fibonacci level and the trend line. The price already broke out the support around 0.7923, the 50 SMA.

The price is expected to start the second bullish wave around 50% fib level ahead of 0.7850, the psychological number and then the 61.8% fib level. The 50 SMA and 100 SMA are also getting closer that shows the market is preparing for the potential rebound.

As of this writing, the price is being traded at 0.7914, the same price that opened the Asian session today. Bulls and bears are struggling equally, causing indecision in the market.

On the upside, there lies a resistance around 0.8035, breaking which the EUR/GBP may hit 0.8065, the September high.
