Key quotes

“EUR/GBP is seen coming off its 0.9178 June high and is seen slipping back towards the six-month uptrend line at 0.8977. Below it solid support can be seen between the 55-day moving average and the June low at 0.8904/.8864. This we expect to underpin.”

“A move above the 0.9178 June high would trigger a rise to 0.9323. It is the location of the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement.”
