EURGBP traded higher into the Tuesday close. A bearish condition remains intact following last week’s move lower. The cross has pierced a key support at 0.8248, the Feb 3 low. A clear breach of this level would strengthen the bearish condition and pave the way for 0.8223 , the Dec 19 low and the next key support.
