The EUR/GBP pair has pulled back initially during the day on Friday, but then rallied from the 0.8820 level. It is currently testing the highs again, so I think we will probably see this market go much higher. Short-term pullback should be buying opportunities based upon the overall attitude that we have seen in this market, and perhaps even the ascending triangle that we had seen.

The EUR/GBP pair initially pulled back a bit during the session on Friday, showing signs of weakness initially, but then we turned around to show signs of strength. We reached towards the highs again, and it looks like we are ready to continue to go much higher. The 0.88 level underneath should be a bit of a “floor” in this market, and I think that we will more than likely go to the 0.90 level above, which is a major barrier on longer-term charts. We have recently shown an ascending triangle on the hourly chart, and we have broken above it. I believe that the market should continue to find plenty of buyers underneath, especially considering that the British pound has shown so much weakness.

The GBP/USD pair has broken through major support, just as the EUR/USD pair has. Because of this, the market is going to be a fight between 2 of the week or currencies that I’m following right now, and that can lead to a lot of erratic action as the market has a lot of crosscurrents.

The market should continue to go higher though, based upon what we have seen over the last couple of weeks, and of course the weekly chart. I don’t know that we can break above the 0.90 level, as it is so important. If we did though, that could send this market to the 0.92 level.
