Today EUR GfK German Consumer Climate report was published with a slightly better figure at 10.6 which was expected to be unchanged at 10.4, Spanish Flash CPI report was published with the worst figure at 1.5% which was expected to be at 1.6% decreasing from previous value of 1.9% and German Prelim CPI report is yet to be published which is expected to rise to 0.0% from previous value of -0.2%.

To sum up, both currencies are in top form fighting for establishing a trend in the market where GBP is expected to have an upper hand due to Rate Hike bias in the market.
Now let us look at the technical view, the price has rejected off the resistance of 0.8850 and currently being held by 20 EMA as a support. If the price breaks below 20 EMA with a daily close then we will be looking forward to selling with a target towards 0.8550 support level. On the other hand, if the price breaks above 0.8850 with a daily close above it, we will be looking forward to buying with a target towards 0.90 in the coming days. Currently, the market is in bullish bias until price breaks below 20 EMA with a daily close.
