Euro Sterling (EURGBP)

The trend appears to make a corrective pullback on the hourly chart, drawing higher highs and reaching 0.8310. Based on the price action, it appears that the pair may resume its downward movement after touching the resistance near 0.8310. As the pair is moving in a tight range, thus the MACD and RSI look to be indecisive.

Spot WTI (USOUSD)

WTI’s daily chart indicates a high buying pressure below $103.95 a barrel. Nevertheless, the bullish pressure seems to be not enough to break above that level during the Asian session.

On the other hand, the hourly chart shows a shift in price bias to the negative as the price pulls back to the level of $103.95, which intersects the 20-period moving average.
