Kicking off the session at 0.8739, Euro-Pound currency pair peaks at 0.8786

(23:21) GMT

After closing at 0.8738 yesterday, Euro-Pound began today at 0.8739 with significant bullish sentiment driving Euro-Pound's price action higher. So far today, price action has drawn out a distinct 0.8736 to 0.8786 range.

Nevertheless, United Kingdom Retail Sales published today at 07:00 UTC came out at -1%, falling short of the 0.5% projections and continuing its decline from the previous -0.5% figure.

Meanwhile, United Kingdom CFTC GBP speculative net positions released today at 20:30 UTC with a figure of -24,700, while the previous figure was -29,500. Fresh CFTC EUR speculative net positions data from Euro Zone came out at 127,000.

Price action remains constrained around the key Fibonacci level of 0.8759 currently serving as resistance. If broken, the next Fib hurdle is expected to be 0.8866. Euro-Pound's lower Bollinger Band® is at 0.873, indicating that the market is oversold and fertile for new buyers. On the other hand, note that although up today, early price action saw Euro-Pound dropping below its 50 day Simple Moving Average at 0.8728 — an early indicator that a new downward trend could be emerging. Euro-Pound could be slowing down soon as it approaches resistance at 0.8838. Of course, crossing it might suggest further gains are ahead.

With all probabilities considered, today's gains in Euro-Pound have only added further momentum to existing technical factors favoring greater bullish sentiment in the days to come.

Elsewhere, other currency pairs are also gaining ground as EUR/JPY is up 1.15%.

While Euro-Pound is up today, these currencies are lagging behind: GBP/NZD crashes 1.1% to trade around 1.915. EUR/NZD is trading around 1.6768 (down 162 pips).

Trading mostly sideways for a month. Having set a peak of 0.9785 around 3 months ago, Euro-Pound is now trading 10.7% below this level.
