EUR/GBP lethargic ahead of a light calendar day

FXstreet.com (Athens) – The EUR/GBP did little in Asian trading session ahead of a partial US bank holiday day.

EUR/GBP amidst a congestion area of 0.8340 – 0.8344; still close to Thursday’s lows of 0.8300

The EUR/GBP has been trading amidst a very tight trading range in the Asian trading session ahead of a very light calendar data day, due to the partial holidays in US but also to the bank holidays in many Euro land countries. What’s more, ECB’s Coeure mentioned on the weekend through the news media what ECB’s President Mario Draghi also reiterated on Thursday, i.e. “The ECB is still holding out the possibility for further easing if needed, in total contrast with the US which now especially after the solid NFP, is on solid track to start the notorious tapering ‘sooner’ than ‘later.’

Technical Perspectives on the EUR/GBP

The cross should overcome the first barrier of 0.8391 (100-Hourly MA), to move higher to the 6th November high of 0.8416. As a matter of fact, the daily momentum bias remain bearish indicating that the 0.8288 (50% Fibonacci of the 0.7716-0.8815), might be an easily achieved target in the upcoming sessions.

Session recap: Another fairly quiet Asian session – despite bullish Chinese data over the weekend

With the US and several other countries taking the day off Monday and with a relatively light data calendar for those countries still open for business, global traders seem to be limiting their trading activity until everyone is back on Tuesday.
