A bullish theme in EURGBP remains intact and last week’s gains reinforce current conditions. The cross remains above the 50-day EMA and the breach of the average highlights a stronger reversal. This signals scope for a climb towards 0.8592, a Fibonacci retracement. On the downside, support to watch lies at 0.8450, the 50-day EMA. Clearance of this level would highlight a possible reversal.
