FxWirePro: EUR/GBP extends range trade, ignores lower-than-expected German retail sales
Friday, April 29, 2016 6:48 AM UTC
- EUR/GBP has been oscillating within a narroe range between 0.7750-0.7800 region since the 25th April.
- Price action has been contained within the daily cloud and traders' indecision seen in the near-term.
- Data released on Friday showed German retail sales for March fell 1.1% widely missing expectations for a growth of 0.4%.
- Muted reaction seen to poor German data. Pair remains below the 0.78 handle and bias is tilted towards the downside.
- However, clear break of range needed to confirm direction. We recommend remaining on the sidelines for now.
- Immediate support and resistance are seen at 0.77 (coud base) and 0.7820 (converged cloud top and 10-DMA) respectively.
