​​​EUR/GBP stays side-lined 

EUR/GBP still range trades above last Tuesday's £0.8526 low, made close to the 10 April £0.8520 low, and below Monday's and last week's highs at £0.8613-to-£0.8623 which cap.  

​If bettered, the December 2023 peak at £0.8714 and the current April peak at £0.8738 high would be eyed.
