Forex: EUR/GBP rally capped at 0.8690

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The EUR/GBP surged earlier following the unexpected monetary policy move by the BoJ as well as strong fundamental PMI data over the European continent. The pair reached a daily high around 0.8690, however the rally ran out of steam at that point and began to settle slightly underneath.

Since, the EUR/GDP has been trading in a horizontal fashion around 0.8675 waiting for another boost. Reviewing the technical analysis, Ian G Coleman of the FXstreet Independent Analysis Team writes: “Large corrective day yesterday on EURGBP but the bias remains to the upside. Short timeframes are showing an impulsive move this morning. I am still looking for 8820 in this pair to complete wave 3. Only a move below 8572 would negate my view.”

Coleman continues with key support levels: 8642/8600/8572 while resistance is placed at: 8737/8750/8800.
