EUR/GBP recovery slows

EUR/GBP's recovery from last week's low at £0.8260, a level last traded in April 2022, has taken it to the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at £0.8365 which acted as minor resistance. Nonetheless a further advance towards the late August low at £0.8400 remains at hand.

Minor support can now be seen at the 13 November £0.8345 high and then between the £0.8311 early October low and the 18 and 29 October lows at £0.8299-to-£0.8296.

GBP/USD finds interim support

GBP/USD is bouncing off last week's $1.2597 low, below which the 22 March low at $1.2576 and the 29 April high at $1.2570 remain to be seen.

The cross is now heading back towards minor resistance seen between the 15 August low at $1.2799 and the 200-day SMA at $1.2817.

AUD/USD bounces off support

AUD/USD so far managed to level out at $0.6441 and flirts with the 6 November $0.6513 low. Above lies further minor resistance at the $0.6537 30 October low.

A slip through $0.6441 would engage the August low at $0.6349.
