EUR/GBP Daily Chart(Please click on the forex chart thumbnail to enlarge)

6/23/2010 Forex Technical Analysis (FXpath.com) – EUR/GBP, a daily chart of which is shown, has been deeply entrenched within a steep downtrend since the early March highs. On Wednesday (6/23/2010), price just established a fresh 19-month low right around strong support in the key 0.8200 price region. This level was just double-tested around two weeks ago. Considering the significant bearishness that this currency pair continues to exhibit, a breakdown below 0.8200 is a potential near-term scenario that would confirm a continuation of the strong current downtrend. In the event of this breakdown, a key further support target to the downside resides around the important 0.8000 figure. Upside resistance within the context of the strong downtrend continues to reside around the 0.8400 price region.
