The EUR/GBP has experienced a sharp move to the downside after recording an intra-day high of 0.8006 on December 16th 2014. This intra-day high marked a false breakout above its horizontal resistance level and was quickly reversed. This level was reached after a strong move to the upside formed from its intra-day low of 0.7832 which was recorded on December 3rd 2014. The sharp move to the downside has now reached an intra-day low of 0.7836 yesterday on December 18th 2014. This marked a higher low and the EUR/GBP is expected to launch a price action reversal from its double bottom formation.
Price action is currently trading inside its horizontal support level where selling pressure is being deflated. The EUR/GBP is expected to gather enough upward momentum for a breakout which will lead to an advance until it will challenge its most recent intra-day high. Binary options traders can take advantage from the expected breakout with binary call options. Today’s binary options trading strategy suggests call options to be placed on dips below 0.7850 for a risk/reward ratio of 1.0/1.67.
The EUR/GBP saw an increase in volatility as the accelerated move to the downside developed once the false breakout, with an intra-day high of 0.8006 reached on December 16th 2014, above its horizontal resistance level was quickly reversed. The move lower has now been halted inside its horizontal support level, but volatility is likely to remain elevated as sellers will attempt to force a breakdown and extend the downward move. Buyers are favored to take the strength of the horizontal support level and launch a breakout for a full price action reversal.
The first resistance level awaits the EUR/GBP at its intra-day low of 0.7874 which was reached on December 12th 2014. This level has previously reversed a move to the downside and pushed the EUR/GBP into its most recent intra-day high. A breakout will lead the EUR/GBP to its intra-day high of 0.7923 which was recorded on December 5th 2014. The next resistance level is located at its intra-day high of 0.7977 which was reached on December 1st 2014 from where a double top formation inside its horizontal resistance level is likely to prevent a further advance.
