Trade Idea of the Day

EUR/GBP

Currently the pair is trading at 0.7470. Traders must monitor the 0.7555 resistance level and the support level 0.7420 for possible breakouts. A possible scenario would be a further movement below the 0.7470 support level to 0.7455 level where a break may lead to testing the 0.7420 support. An alternative scenario could be a movement above the 0.7500, where a break may lead to the 0.7545 area.
