The Euro (EUR) inched lower against the Great Britain Pound (GBP) on Wednesday, decreasing the price of EURGBP to less than 0.8450 ahead of the ECB head Mario Draghi speech. The technical bias has turned bearish because of a lower low in the recent downside move.
Technical Analysis
As of this writing, the pair is being traded near 0.8404. A support can be noted around 0.8398 (an immediate trendline support as well as horizontal support zone) as demonstrated in the given below chart. A break and four-hour closing below the 0.8398 support shall incite renewed selling interest, validating a move towards the 0.8320 support area.
On the upside, a hurdle may be noted around 0.8420 (the 50% fib level resistance area) ahead of 0.8449 (the horizontal resistance level) and then 0.8500 (the psychological number) as demonstrated in the given above chart. The technical bias shall remain bearish as long as the 0.8500 resistance area is intact.
