Key quotes
“EUR/GBP resumed its down move last week and starts this week with attention on the 2016-2021 uptrend at 0.8591, we look for this to hold the initial test. Failure at 0.8591 would target the 0.8465 May 2019 low.”
“Initial resistance is the accelerated downtrend at 0.8720 and this is the minimum that needs to be overcome to alleviate downside immediate pressure. Above here lies 0.8864/61 (lows seen in June, September and November) while capped here overall attention will remain on the downside.”
