In Monday's session, the EUR/GBP pair rose by 0.20% to 0.8395. While the pair remains in a sideways trend, the bullish pressure has shown signs of softening in the last sessions. For the short term, there are signs of a side-ways trade period after last Friday;s 0.60% losses.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 55, indicating that buying pressure is gradually increasing. However, the RSI has recently declined sharply, suggesting that buying pressure is easing. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram is flat and green, indicating that buying pressure is steady.
The overall technical outlook for the EUR/GBP is neutral to slightly bullish. The pair is likely to continue trading within the 0.8350-0.8450 (20 and 100-day Simple Moving Averages) range in the near term. However, the recent softening of the bullish trend suggests that the pair may be due for a correction lower which could be triggered if the bulls fail to defend the 20-day SMA.
