EUR/GBP is offered below 0.8732

“EUR/GBP continues to ease back from the 0.8722/32 tough resistance. It looks to have failed and attention again reverts to initial support at 0.8533, the mid-March low and the March and May 2019 lows at 0.8471/65. We favour failure.”

“Below 0.8465 we would have to allow for the 0.8314/.8239 major support zone to be reached (the December 2016, April 2017, December 2019 and February 2020 lows).”
