​​​EUR/GBP still hovers above support

EUR/GBP remains above its major £0.8503-to-£0.8484 support zone and has last week's high at £0.8540 in view. If overcome, the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at £0.8558 would be targeted.

​Were a daily chart close below £0.8484 to be made, though, the July and August 2022 lows at £0.8409-04 would be eyed instead.
