EUR/GBP Technical Analysis: hits lowest since May 2017

The EUR/GBP pair fell to 0.8616 yesterday, the lowest level since May 2017, pushing the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) into oversold territory for the first time since Oct. 10.
The RSI on the hourly and 4-hour chart is also signaling oversold conditions.
A minor bounce could be in the offing. The immediate outlook, however, would remain bearish while the pair held below the descending 10-day MA, currently at 0.8778.
