  • EUR/GBP extends slide for 3rd consecutive session, down 0.17% on the day.
     
  • The single currency largely muted despite upbeat retail sales data. EU retail sales (MoM) registered at 0.7% above expectations (0.6%) in September.
     
  • EUR/GBP extends post-BOE corrective slide, is on track to test 200-DMA at 0.8762.
     
  • Violation at 200-DMA could see further downside, scope then for test of weekly 50-SMA at 0.8719.
     
  • Technical studies on weekly charts are also bearish. Stochs and RSI are biased lower and MACD supports trend lower.
     
  • Immediate resistance seen at 0.8884 (20-DMA), break above to see minor upside till 50-DMA at 0.8924.

Support levels - 0.8762 (200-DMA), 0.8733 (Nov 1 low), 0.8682 (61.8% Fib retrace of 0.8297 to 0.93065 rally)
