The post Trapped in a tightening range around 0.8700 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Euro is giving away most of the gains taken on Wednesday on Thursday, amid the softer-than-expected UK inflation data, and returns below 0.8700. From a wider perspective, the pair continues to trade in a choppy manner, bouncing within a broadly 70-pip range, between 0.8665 and 0.8730. UK inflation fell short of the market expectations with a 3.8% year-on-year growth in September, below the 4.0% rate anticipated by the market consensus. These figures boosted expectations that the Bank of England will cut interest rates further before the year’s end, and sent the Pound tumbling against its main peers. Technical analysis: Price action is forming a wedge pattern A look at the 4-hour chart shows price action moving into a gradually tightening range since early October, forming a symmetrical wedge around the 0.8700 level. This is considered a continuation pattern, which, in this case, would lead to a bearish outcome. Immediate support is in the area between the triangle bottom, now at 0.8670, and the October 8 lows, at 0.8655. A confirmation below here clears the path towards the September 11 and 15 lows at 0.8635. The measured target of the wedge pattern is at the 0.8620 area. To the upside, bulls will find a cluster of resistances between the triangle top at 0.8715 and the 0.8730 area, which has repeatedly capped upside attempts since early October. Above here, the target is the YTD high, at 0.8750. Euro Price Today The table below shows the percentage change of Euro (EUR) against listed major currencies today.
