If the pair breaks the 0.8550 level, then EUR/GBP bears will continue to move lower toward the 0.8535 horizontal support level. Furthermore, the divergence in Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) points to more correction in the price.

Alternatively, if price breaks the 21-day SMA, it could move back to the 0.8580 horizontal resistance level. Next, EUR/GBP bulls would aim for the psychological 0.8600 mark and move onto the 0.8620 horizontal resistance zone thereafter.
