Flash euro-zone PMI data released earlier failed to impress EUR bulls. On the other side, Great Britain CBI Trends failed to provide evidence of post-Brexit economic fallout.
A broad-based recovery in the sterling and a muted euro have triggered a near-term corrective move in EUR/GBP.
EUR/GBP is now correcting over 100-pips from a multi-month high level of 0.8725 hit in the previous week.
The pair has slipped below 0.86 handle to hit session lows of 0.8588.
Price action on the day is capped by stiff resistance by 10-DMA at 0.8628, while downside finds support at 20-DMA by 0.8536.
Recommendation: Short break below 20-DMA at 0.8536, target: 0.8468/ 0.8353/ 0.83
