Short-term selling pressure collides with medium-term bullish signals
EUR/EGP is currently trading below its 20-day moving average at EGP61.5108, but remains comfortably above the 50-day (EGP60.1004) and 200-day (EGP59.7758) levels.

Near-term resistance sits at the Ichimoku Kijun of EGP60.7891, while support is marked by today's high at EGP60.591. Momentum signals remain split: the MACD gives a strong buy indication, but the ADX is set to sell. The RSI is neutral at 39.12. Both the Stochastic RSI and CCI are in oversold zones, indicating possible rebound risk. Intraday sellers have the upper hand, as reflected in Bear Power at -1.0741.
