EUR/GBP Rises on Lockdown Talk
EUR/GBP - H1
The week started on the back foot, but the pair began the day with gains, returning above its EMA100, which has supported it since late November.
During the European session, it rises to new month highs, as reports for imminent lockdown measures in the UK [1] harm the British Pound.
Bulls now have the 200Day EMA in their crosshair and a successful break above it, can open the door towards 0.8625.
From a purely technical prospective, the move is overextended and this may lead to a deflation towards the EMA100 (0.8510), but catalyst will be needed for larger decline beyond 0.8492-87.
