This pair is cruising lower inside a falling channel with its lower highs and lower lows. Don’t look now, but it’s already testing the channel resistance!
Can the selloff resume from here?
Moving averages seem to suggest so, as the 100 SMA is still below the 200 SMA to indicate that bearish pressure is in play.

At the same time, Stochastic is indicating overbought conditions or exhaustion among buyers, so price might follow suit once it heads south.
If resistance holds, #EUR/GBP could slump back to the channel bottom around .8325 or the mid-channel area of interest at .8350.
However, the gap between the moving averages is narrowing to reflect weakening selling pressure and a looming bullish crossover. If that happens, EUR/GBP might attempt to break above the channel top at .8350 and go for a reversal from the slide.
Planning on trading this one? Just make sure to keep tabs on ECB head Lagarde’s upcoming speech to gauge its impact on the euro.
