The trend condition in EURGBP remains bullish and the cross is trading closer to its recent trend highs. A fresh cycle high last week confirms a resumption of the uptrend and maintains the price sequence of higher highs and higher lows. Sights are on 0.8868 next, a Fibonacci retracement. On the downside, initial key short-term support to watch lies at  0.8781, the 20-day EMA. A break of the average would highlight the start of a corrective phase.
