EUR/GBP reverses Thursday’s losses and is set to print weekly gains of 0.40% after Pound Sterling (GBP) bulls emerged yesterday, trimming some of its Wednesday losses. Nevertheless, selling pressure waned, and the EUR/GBP sits above a technical support level. At the time of writing, the EUR/GBP exchanges hands at 0.8573, up 0.32%.

EUR/GBP Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The EUR/GBP daily chart portrays the pair in consolidation, with a downward bias, which could extend if sellers drag prices past the year-to-date (YTD) low of 0.8504. In that event, the next support would be the 0.8450 psychological level before the EUR/GBP dives towards the August 24 swing low of 0.8408.

Conversely, the EUR/GBP could threaten to turn bullish, above the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.8616, which would be tested once the Eur/GBP passes the 0.8600 mark. A breach of the latter will expose the June 28 swing high at 0.8658, ahead of the 100-day EMA a 0.8668, followed by the 200-day EMA at 0.8681.

Oscillator-wise, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at the brisk of turning bullish, which could exacerbate the EUR bulls’ reaction. The three-day Rate of Change (RoC) portrays the cross as having an upward biased.

Hence, the EUR/GBP could be ready for a bullish resumption in the near term.

EUR/USD remains offered below 1.1600, seems vulnerable near multi-month low

The EUR/USD pair struggles to capitalize on the overnight bounce from the 1.1530 region, or the lowest level since November 2025, and lower for the third consecutive day on Wednesday. Spot prices slide back below the 1.1600 mark during the Asian session and seem vulnerable to slide further.

GBP/USD weakens to near 1.3300 as geopolitical risks bolster US Dollar

The GBP/USD pair attracts some sellers to around 1.3310 during the early European session on Wednesday. Escalating conflict in the Middle East triggers a "flight to safety," supporting the US Dollar against the Pound Sterling. Traders will take more cues from the US ADP Employment and ISM Services Purchasing Managers Index reports, which are due later on Wednesday.

Gold sticks to intraday gains above $5,150; upside seems limited amid bullish USD

Gold preserves its modest intraday gains through the Asian session on Wednesday and currently trades just above the $5,150 level, up around 1.30% for the day. Investors remain concerned about a prolonged conflict in the Middle East and its impact on the global economy amid an already uncertain environment.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple struggle for direction as consolidation persists

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple prices trade with a cautious tone at the time of writing on Wednesday as upside momentum continues to fade across the broader crypto market. BTC remains within a parallel channel, ETH struggles below key resistance, while XRP remains fragile within a descending channel. These top three cryptocurrencies by market capitalization continue to struggle to establish a directional bias amid the consolidation phase.

When rates start driving the bus through a war zone

The volatility regime itself is also changing character. EM carry trades thrive in calm markets. They suffocate in environments that resemble Buckaroo Banzai trading conditions, where headlines move faster than models. That is exactly the world investors are now trying to recalibrate to. Euro rate volatility had been remarkably subdued even while equities were wobbling. That stability is now being questioned, and once volatility leaks into rates it rarely stays contained. Indeed, carry trades love calm seas. War turns the ocean into white water.

Ripple falters amid sell-off jitters and negative funding rates

Ripple (XRP) has come under pressure, drifting lower to $1.35 at the time of writing on Tuesday. The over 2% correction looks poised to erase the previous day’s gains, which lifted the remittance token to $1.42.
