Elliott Wave Analysis for EUR/GBP
EUR/GBP finishes 5 wave of a bigger A wave at 0.8390. According to our wave rules and assuming that 3 sub-waves of wave B will retrace around 50% of wave A, we can project our target points for the Wave B with our Fibonacci retracement (0.8275-0.8390) to 0.8332.

Trading Forecast
Based on Elliott Wave Rules we can expect the trend to go lower today. That is why we can come to a conclusion that we should open a SHORT position at 0.8376 with Stop Loss at 0.8390 and Take Profit at 0.8332
