​​​EUR/USD side-lined

EUR/USD continues to hover above its $1.0778-62 support zone which is expected to hold. If not, the 9 May low at $1.0724 would be in focus.

Bearish pressure will be maintained while Friday's high at $1.0839 caps.

​EUR/GBP ranges above support

EUR/GBP remains above the £0.8318-to-£0.8296 support area. Were it to be slipped through, the January 2022 and December 2019 lows at £0.8285-77 would be next in line.

​Minor resistance comes in at last week's high at £0.8352.

​GBP/USD range bound

​Last week's GBP/USD bounce off its $1.2908 two-month low was rejected by the $1.30 region. While the area up to the $1.3045 July peak isn't overcome, further downside is likely on the cards.

​A slip through $1.2908 would engage the June high at $1.2861.
