That said, EUR/GBP has reached a potential downside target for the bear move that began at the August 5 high when it reached the top of its range. As such it may have completed its bearish decline. The target is the 61.8% extrapolation of the initial move down during August before the channel that formed in early September and pulled back higher for two weeks.
A break below the 0.8317 September 24 low would reconfirm a continuation of the downtrend towards the next target at 0.8287, the August 2022 low.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has exited oversold, suggesting the risk of an extended correction unfolding to the upside.
