The EURGBP pair continues to retreat from its highest level since early 2021, around the 0.9300 level, after the British pound sunk on the foreign exchange market after the recent disastrous budget by the new UK Chancellor.
EURGBP pair has been consolidating between the 0.8600 to 0.8800 level. I still feel like we could see another test towards the 0.9000 resistance level again in the near-term.
Trading opportunities exists in the near-term if we start to see a rally back towards the 0.9000 level, it could again be seen as a potential shorting opportunity as EURGBP is overstretched.
It is also a fact that the EURGBP pair is in a bull trend again and has been trading above its 200-day moving average for the past few weeks, meaning that bulls are currently in control over the short and medium-term.
My only concern would be the Bank of England continues to hike rates to fight inflation and the ECB stays put. However, the ECB does have a mandate to keep inflation at 2 percent.
The ActivTrader platform shows that bearish sentiment is rising, with some 73 percent of traders now expecting more upside in the EURGBP pair despite the recent big drop from the 0.9300 level.
Overall, this should be bullish for the EURGBP pair because traders are typically on the wrong side of the trade. Most of the time fading retail sentiment works well for trading purposes.
