​EUR/GBP bounces off 2 1/2 year low

EUR/GBP's drop has taken it a near 2 1/2 year low at £0.8318, to just above the 21 March 2022 low at £0.8296 which may still be reached at some stage. Together with the £0.8285 January 2022 low and the £0.8277 December 2019 trough it is expected to act as major support.

Previous support at £0.8378-73, because of inverse polarity, is now expected to act as resistance.
