EUR/GBP Price Forecast: A correction or a reversal of the trend?
Source Fxstreet
- EUR/GBP recovers from multi-year lows but then pulls back down.
- Is the pair about to reverse trend higher or is it still overall bearish?
EUR/GBP gaps higher at the open on Monday and starts climbing again. The pair had been pulling back since the completion of a three-wave, zig-zag-shaped pattern last Thursday. This pattern has been drawn on the chart below with the waves labeled a,b and c.
EUR/GBP 4-hour Chart
In the very near-term the pair might fall to fill the open gap left after price jumped higher on Monday. Technical analysis theory argues that gaps have a greater tendency of being closed.
The abc pattern could be either a correction of the overall downtrend or the start of a new short-term uptrend.
If it is just a correction, the price will probably continue falling in line with the medium and longer-term downtrend, with a target at the 0.8311 multi-year lows.
If price manages to break above the high of wave c, however, it will have formed a third higher high, thereby establishing a new sequence of rising peaks and troughs. This is a strong indicator of a new uptrend. Give the technical analysis principle that “the trend is your friend” the odds would then favor further upside to come.
The steepness of the abc pattern strengthens the case of this being a reversal rather than a correction.
A failure to pierce above the top of wave c would indicate the pair is probably not reversing.
It would suggest EUR/GBP will probably remain trapped oscillating within the red and green dashed lines on the chart at 0.8311 and 0.8456 respectively.

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.
