EURGBP extended its upside movement from 0.8746 to as high as 0.8992, breaking above a major resistance level at 0.8899, indicating that correction for the downtrend from 0.9306 is underway. Further rise is still possible in the coming days.
The EURGBP pair stays in a bullish price channel on its 4-hour chart. As long as the price is in the channel, the upside movement could be expected to continue and next target would be at 0.9045 resistance.
However, the bounce from 0.8746 would possibly be correction of the downtrend from 0.9306, another fall would likely be seen before breaking above 0.9045 resistance. Next term support is at the bottom trend line of the channel now at around 0.8920. Breakthrough the channel bottom could bring price back to the resistance-turned-support level at 0.8899.
