PRICE OF THE PRICE OF THE EUR/GBP: Side trade with the key support in 0.8600 in the focus

  • The euro is quoted on Wednesday, but is still trapped within the weekly range.
  • Doubts on a commercial agreement between the Eurozone and the US are weighing on the common currency.
  • Technical indicators show a lateral consolidation above 0.8600.

The euro is quoted with a moderate bearish bias on Wednesday, although even within the rank of the last days. The lack of advances in commercial negotiations with the US is weighing on the common currency, although the positive comments of European negotiators keep the hopes of a commercial agreement alive.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz reiterated this morning that he is confident of reaching an agreement with the US before the deadline of August 1, but US President Trump said he will send a letter of tariffs to the Eurozone this week.

Commercial uncertainty is affecting the euro more severely than the pound, since the United Kingdom assured an agreement, although modest, in June.

Technical analysis: EUR/GBP could have reached a maximum at 0.8665

GRAPH/GBP

From a technical point of view, a look at the four -hour chart shows a mixed image, with the relative force index (RSI) fluctuating around 50, showing a clear lack of impulse. In a broader perspective, the recent price action suggests that the PAR completed a 5 -wave bullish cycle and is now in an ABC correction.

However, the torque needs to break the level of 0.8600 (minimum of July 7) to confirm this vision and extend its correction towards the area of ​​0.8550 – 0.8560, where the minimum of July 1 is found with the fibonacci setback of 38.2% of the June -July rally, and a possible technical soil for a bearish reversion.

On the positive side, the maximums of July 4 and 7 in the 0.8640 area are closing the road to the maximum of July 2, at 0.8665. A confirmation above here cancels this vision and displaces the approach to the maximum of the year to date, at 0.8740.
