EUR/GBP Technical Analysis: Euro bulls might be back in town on a decisive break above 0.8800 figure

EUR/GBP is trading in a bear trend below the 100 and 200-period simple moving average.
EUR/GBP bulls are trying to create a bottom above the 0.8700 figure as bulls are defending the 50 SMA. The RSI, MACD and Stochastic indicators are picking up but a breakout above the 0.8800 figure and the bear trendline is needed to open the gates to 0.8900 figure.
Alternatively, in the absence of such bullish breakout the market is set to continue to trade down.
