Stuck in the Triangle? EUR/GBP's About to Break Free

Alright, let’s break down this EUR/GBP setup!

Looking at the daily, we see EUR/GBP recently had a strong bullish push, but now it’s hitting a bit of consolidation just above the daily support at 0.83950. That area has acted as a significant barrier before, so if price can stay above it, we might see another leg up. On the daily, the 21 EMA is below price, showing that buyers are still holding on, but it’s struggling to break out decisively above that 0.84242 level.

Switching down to the 4-hour, we can see that price is coiling up in a tight range, forming a triangle pattern. This setup is perfect for a breakout trade – we just need to see which direction it wants to move. If it breaks above the trendline around 0.84000, we could look for a buy, targeting the next resistance at 0.84242, and possibly higher if momentum kicks in. But if it breaks down below the 0.83950 support, then we’re likely looking at a sell with a target toward 0.83573.

So here’s the plan: wait for a solid breakout from this triangle pattern on the 4-hour. Look for an entry around the breakout area, keeping your SL just below the structure on either side. Remember, let the market show you the move; patience pays, especially with consolidation setups like this.
