EUR/GBP focus on BoE, UK jobs

Developments in Greece will be the main source of volatility in the cross from the EUR-side, while the key BoE minutes and critical releases in the UK labour market will impact on the pound. Prior surveys expect the Claimant Count Change to have decreased by 25.0K in January while the unemployment rate is seen unchanged at 5.8% in the three months ended in December.

As of writing the cross is losing 0.11% at 0.7426 with the next support at 0.7410 (100h-MA) followed by 0.7372 (7-year low Feb.12) and then 0.7321 (low Jan.2008). On the other hand, a break above 0.7455 (high Feb.12) would expose 0.7459 (high Feb.9) and finally 0.7485 (21-d MA).
