EUR/GBP recovered some lost ground on Tuesday, rising mildly to 0.8330, but the overall technical outlook remains bearish as the pair stands at multi-year lows.

A mild oversold condition is currently seen in the pair according to a reading of 27 for the Relative Strength Index (RSI), suggesting that buyers are starting to take control after Monday’s selloff, and the RSI is gradually increasing. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is flat, suggesting that selling is losing steam.

USD/JPY consolidates near 157.50 as a bullish USD counters intervention risks
