The EUR/GBP pair has fallen on Monday, as we have reached towards the 0.88 level for support. The market has been rather choppy over the last several sessions, as we continue to hover around the 0.88 level. This is an area that has been supportive, and I think that if we break down below the 0.8780 level, we could get a complete reach raise. Otherwise, this is a market that I think is going to continue to be a short-term selling and buying opportunity just waiting to happen.

The Euro continues the chop around against the British pound, as we have a lot of noise out there due to the negotiations. The market continues to focus on headlines coming out of both London and Brussels, and of course Frankfurt. I think that there is a lot noise in this market just waiting to happen, so it’s difficult to get overly excited about any particular move. I think the pain attention to the stochastic oscillator will continue to be the best way to trade this market. I believe that a break down below the 0.8780 level could send this market down to the 0.8725 level again, but any sign of a bounce will probably have the market testing the 0.8825 handle again.

There are easier currency pairs a trade right now, unless of course you are into short-term scalping. If you are short-term scalper, this might be the perfect currency pair. However, you need to have a short-term range bound strategy to take advantage of what we have seen. Based upon the impulsive move to the upside, I would assume that the 0.88 handle holds as support, but you must always keep an open mind going into a situation and recognize when it’s time to get out. While I anticipate buyers just underneath, you can’t count on them.
