EUR/GBP price is trading in the 0.8560s, in the middle of a multi-month range on Monday. It moved lower after rising up to close to the range ceiling.
The pair is in a sideways trend which is expected to extend given the old traders adage that "the trend is your friend".
After rising up and almost touching the top of the range on Friday, EUR/GBP reversed and has fallen to a cluster of MAs at 0.8565, where it has temporarily found support. If the pair can decisively break below this cluster of MAs which is made up of the 50, 100 and 200 Simple Moving Averages (SMA) it will probably fall back down to support at 0.8530.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator has moved above the zero line, a bullish sign, however it is turning lower. If it crosses below the red signal line it will give a sell signal and suggest more downside for XAG/USD. The signal would be enhanced by the fact the pair was in a sideways trend and MACD is proven to be a more reliable indicator in non-trending markets.
Change in trend?
For a change of the sideways trend to be confirmed Silver price would need to make a decisive break above or below the range.
In the case of a break below the range floor such a move would open the way for more downside to the next target at 0.8486 - the 0.681 Fibonacci ratio of the height of the range extrapolated lower from the channel's base. This is the method used by technical analysts to estimate range breakouts. Further weakness could even see price reach the next target at 0.8460, the full height of the range extrapolated lower (1.000).
Likewise a decisive break above the range high at 0.8595 would signal a breakout with an initial target at 0.8635 followed by the 0.8645 highs.
A decisive break would be one characterized by a long candlestick that broke completely above or below the range floor and closed near its high or low, or three consecutive red candlesticks that broke clearly through the level.
