Lack of Trends in EUR/GBP

The EUR/GBP opened April at 0.8496. During the month the pair traded to a high of 0.8590. From here we fell to a low of 0.8312, only to rally back higher.
The 278 odd pips of range is not a lot for one month of trading in a major currency pair. This underscores that apart from the direction, the volatility has been absent as well. We are currently quoted at 0.8426, barely 70 pips away from the month's open.

With prices at 115.14, the bulls are currently pushing on the upper end of the triangle in the picture above. Earlier in the day we traded as high as 115.25. The10 pips decline is too small to be classified as a bounce yet but if the move lower continues, we can conclude that prices respected the triangle.

The monthly range for the EUR/JPY is now at only 368 pips,with a high at 116.28 and a low at 112.60.These numbers are very close to September which had a 116.35 high and a low at 112.07.

This confirms that my analysis above is correct, this pair is volatile but ultimately stays in range.
