EUR/GBP is reserved, with 0.8160 support intact

FXStreet (Moscow) - EUR/GBP started the day at 0.8163, tried to move higher, but retreated below 0.8160 due to pound strength.

Downtrend may be confirmed this week


It looks like the pair feels quite comfortable below the strong 0.82 level. The scheduled for the week ahead data from the UK and the EMU may only confirm the downward trend of the pair, if investors believe in higher chances of the BOE to tighten, and the ECB to ease monetary policy. For now the support level at 0.8160 stays intact, as the lack of economic releases will give the pair some time to think. If broken, wait for the move lower with initial target at 0.8144 support.
