EUR/GBP has been on the advance and running through stops. The price has advanced from a low of 0.8667 to a high of 0.8939 since February with sights on the 0.90 handle having now cleared a key resistance area in the 0.8860s.

There is the risk of a pullback prior to the onward extension with a test below 0.89 the figure, bringing back the prior 0.8864/65 resistance level into the target. Considering the close above here, an upside bias remains favoured, technically. However, below there, 0.8700 and then the April lows of 0.8671 come into play.
