EUR/GBP chart on Trading View used for analysis

• EUR/GBP recovery is capped below 0.87 handle, upside is unlikely to gather traction. 
   
• ECB minutes on Thursday had a dovish tilt, acknowledging that near-term growth is likely to be weaker than expected.
   
• The central bank added that more data is still needed to assess more medium term impacts.
   
• Focus now on German data which includes GDP, Ifo business climate and eurozone inflation data.
   
• German GDP is expected to show the growth rate stalled in Q4. Disappointing data could add pressure on the single currency. 
   
• The focus would shift to Draghi speech post-German data. The central bank head is likely to sound dovish, confirming a rate hike is unlikely to happen any time soon.
   
• Technical studies are bearish. Guppy's Multiple Moving Average setup shows that the major trend is bearish. 
   
• Stochs and RSI show momentum is bearish and MACD is on verge of bearish crossover on signal line
