EUR/GBP corrected lower Thursday on the BoE rate decision, which sent prices through the weekly low. Despite the intraday weakness, support to watch remains out of reach for now at the 0.8606 50-day EMA. A clear break of it would strengthen a bear threat. More broadly, the trend set-up is bullish. Moving average studies remain in a bull-mode position highlighting a clear uptrend. Key resistance and the bull trigger is at 0.8769, the Jul 27 high.

A bull cycle in GBPUSD remains in play and recent weakness appears corrective. Support at 1.3602, the 20-day EMA, has been pierced. A clear break here would signal scope for a deeper correction towards the 50-day EMA at 1.3468. Key resistance and the bull trigger is at 1.3789, the Jul 1 high. Clearance of this hurdle would resume the uptrend. Note that MA studies are in a bull-mode position, suggesting the M/T uptrend is intact.
