EUR/GBP fails once again near 0.7970 Post-CPI
The bulls were left unimpressed by the upward revision to the Eurozone CPI estimates, sending EUR/GBP lower towards the mid-point of 0.79 handle.
EUR/GBP capped below 5-DMA
Currently,
the EUR/GBP pair trades 0.28% higher at 0.7957, unable to break through
the stiff resistance placed above 0.7970 levels. The EUR/GBP cross
largely ignored upbeat Eurozone final CPI print and extends its retreat
from session tops.
Consumer Price Index (CPI) in the 19-nation
bloc was revised higher to show no growth in March from the initial
estimate of 0.1% drop. Core HICP was left unrevised at 1.00% y/y.
Meanwhile,
the renewed offers seen in the cross are mainly in response to the
ongoing recovery witnessed in the GBP/USD pair, as markets reposition
themselves ahead of the BOE monetary policy meeting scheduled later this
session.
EUR/GBP Technical Levels
To
the upside, the next resistance is located at 0.8000 (round numbers),
above which it could extend gains to 0.8025/24 (10-DMA/ 1h 200-SMA). To
the downside immediate support might be located at 0.7925/10 (Apr 13
& 1 Low) below that at 0.7863 (50-DMA).
