EUR/GBP broke above 0.83 on pound weakness

FXStreet (Moscow) - EUR/GBP broke above 0.83 resistance area and reached 0.8325 by the moment.


Consolidation mode is OFF


After a several days of rising, EUR/GBP looked like already reached the upper limit around 0.83 resistance area, and given the absence of key reports from the EMU and UK for today, we could expect mild consolidation around the mentioned area. Nevertheless, the pair broke above 0.83 on barren calendar in the European open, and reached monthly high at 0.8325 by the moment. The move is rooted from the sudden pound weakness now explained by any fundamental reasons. Most probably, it’s the case of profit-taking by some institutional investor. The upside is limited by 0.8338, and the downside – by 0.8278 support level.
