EUR/GBP tests highs near 0.7330

FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The solid tone from the single currency is now lifting EUR/GBP to the area of session highs near 0.7330.

EUR/GBP in 3-week peaks

The European cross is advancing more than two big-figures since Monday’s lows near 0.7120 to current levels around 0.7330, last seen in early April. The positive sentiment towards the risk appetite prevailed throughout the week, giving extra legs to the euro and the pound, although the latter seems to have lost some upside momentum since yesterday.

While the USD dynamics and the debt talks in Greece will dominate the price action around the euro, the uncertainty surrounding the UK elections on May 7th is poised to weigh on the sterling.

EUR/GBP key levels

At the moment the cross is advancing 0.21% at 0.7325 with the next hurdle at 0.7379 (high Apr.3) ahead of 0.7400 (psychological handle) and finally 0.7500 (psychological level). On the downside, a breach of 0.7279 (61.8% of 0.7379-0.7118) would expose 0.7228 (21-d MA) and then 0.7190 (10-d MA).
