The Euro has extended its reversal from Friday’s highs at 0.8730 to levels below the 0.8690 support area. Reports that French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has resigned are causing the Euro to drop across the board, bringing the pair closer to the 0.8665 support area.
News reporting that the recently appointed French Prime Minister, Sebastien Lecornu, has resigned has boosted negative pressure on an already weak Euro. Lecornu is the fifth Prime Minister appointed by President Macron in the last two years, and his resignation leaves the country in an uncertain political scenario, amid a serious fiscal crisis.
EUR/GBP approaches a key support area at 0.8665
The technical picture shows the pair trading within a broadening wedge, a figure often seen after a significant top. Indicators in the 4-hour charts are deep into negative territory, with bears aiming for the 0.8665 support area.
At the moment, the bottom of the mentioned wedge is holding downside attempts at 0.8675 ahead of a trendline support, at 0.8665. Further down, the target is the September 11 and 15 lows, at the 0.8635 area.
To the upside, the previous support at 0.8665 (October 1 low) is likely to act as resistance now, ahead of the wedge top, at 0.8725, as well as the October 2 and 3 lows in the 0.8730 area.
