The EURGBP has been mostly oscillating, since the 27th of October 2016, within a bullish formation between the range of 0.8891 and 0.9034 respectively.

Both the buyers and the sellers are now placing strong pressures in their attempts of taking control over the pair’s price.

The price is now oscillating slightly above the 0.8979 zone which is today’s major pivot point area.

Probable Scenario

In the condition where the pair drops and stabilizes below the 0.8979 area, the price could be forced to decline to lower zones such as the 0.8891.

The Stochastic oscillator also confirms that the price has greater chances to retrace and decline at the 30 level.
