• 
  EUR/GBP Technical Strategy: Pending Short
  


• 
  Support: 0.7873, 0.7834, 0.7772
  


• 
  Resistance:0.7911, 0.7958, 0.7992
  

The Euro is accelerating lower against the British Pound anew, with prices dropping to the lowest level in a month. Near-term support is at 0.7873, the July 23 low, with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the 38.2% Fibonacci expansion at 0.7834. Alternatively, a reversal above the 23.6% level at 0.7911 clears the way for a challenge of the 14.6% Fib at 0.7958.

While entering short is a tempting proposition, risk/reward considerations argue against taking a position at market with prices asymmetrically close to the would-be initial target versus a reasonable stop-loss level. With that in mind, we will begrudgingly stand aside for now.
