EUR/GBP Nearing Resistance Cluster

After a long rally that saw the EUR/GBP advance in 8 out of the last 10 months, the pair may finally hit a roadblock. We are nearing a cluster of resistance levels. They start with 0.8724, last month's high, continue with 0.8768 (August 2013 high) and end with 0.8814, a four-year high for this currency pair.

Range Continues to Constrict in the EUR/GBP

After a volatile start to the summer (with the Brexit commotion), the EUR/GBP is slowly calming down. Volatility continues to decline.

So far the monthly range stands at only 383 pips. The high stands at 0.8716 while the low is at 0.8333.

Open to close we're at +149 pips. This is a bit higher volatility then I expected.

But even so, we're currently quoted at 0.8649, less then 150 pips away from my target. I just need a few down days to bring me closer to my forecasted price :)

We're seeing small declines today in the EUR/GBP but they're not deep enough to bring me substantially closer to my target.

Today we opened at 0.8651, moved to a high of 0.8661 only to fall to a low of 0.8604 later in the day. We're now trading at 0.8635, still a good 144 pips away from the forecast. I need more GBP strength to nudge the pair closer to the target.
