EUR/GBP Price Analysis: Finds support from two major Moving Averages
Source Fxstreet
- EUR/GBP has declined to support from a cluster of Moving Averages.
- The pair has reached a pivotal level within a range that has been unfolding since January.
- In the absence of any bullish signs it could continue falling to the range floor as the sideways trend extends.
EUR/GBP has continued falling within a multi-month range that began in January 2024.
The pair has declined to support from two major moving averages – the 50 and 100-day Simple Moving Averages (SMA) – situated at 0.8566-67.
EUR/GBP Daily Chart
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator has crossed below its red signal line, providing further bearish evidence suggesting EUR/GBP could continue descending within its range/channel.
Given the bearish tone of the charts, EUR/GBP could now break below the support from the SMAs and continue falling to the range low at circa 0.8540.
There is also a possibility, however, that EUR/GBP could recover from support at the SMAs. If so, it could start rising to the ceiling of the range at 0.8600. At the moment, however, there is no indication from price action that such a bullish short-term reversal is underway.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant.
The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year.
Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus.
Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses.
Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
