On the downside

The EURGBP pair is expected to test the support level of the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement taken from 0.8746 to 0.9032 at 0.8813. A breakdown below this level could take price to test next support level at 0.8746.

Below 0.8746 level will indicate that the downtrend from 0.9306 has resumed, then next target would be at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement taken from 0.8313 to 0.9306 at around 0.8690, followed by the 76.4% retracement at 0.8545.
