- The EUR/GBP exchange rate is fluctuating around the 0.85 level, having declined slightly during Monday’s trading.

Following Monday’s trading in Europe, EUR/GBP was observed trading close to the 0.85 threshold, after a minor decline earlier in the session. The pair experienced a modest decrease and maintains a generally neutral position, remaining within its current trading range. Technically, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering around the 50 level, indicating indecision, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is generating a sell recommendation. Other momentum gauges, such as the Williams Percent Range and the Ultimate Oscillator, also reflect neutral conditions. Meanwhile, a disagreement between short-term and long-term moving averages implies some underlying ambiguity.
From a technical perspective, short-term downward pressure is apparent, with the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) near 0.8540 signaling a bearish outlook as the pair trades below it. However, longer-term support remains in place, as both the 100-day SMA around 0.8379 and the 200-day SMA near 0.8389 continue to point towards an upward trend over a longer timeframe. The Ichimoku Base Line, stable around 0.8527, further reinforces the current neutral sentiment.
EUR/GBP finds support in the neighborhood of 0.8498, with further cushions anticipated near 0.8482 and 0.8459. Conversely, resistance is located around 0.8515, with additional obstacles at 0.8525 and 0.8527. Considering the combination of a sell signal from the MACD and neutral readings from the Williams Percent Range and Ultimate Oscillator, the pair may continue to consolidate unless buyers or sellers assert stronger dominance in the upcoming sessions.
