EUR/GBP Technical Analysis: headed back towards retesting 0.8700 handle
• Extends this week's rejection slide from the very important 200-day SMA, with upbeat UK retail sales data triggering the initial leg of downside on Thursday.
• The selling pressure aggravates post-dovish ECB twist, dragging the cross below 100-day SMA, an ascending trend-line and 50-day SMA supports.
• The downfall could now get extended towards the 0.8700 horizontal support, which if broken would set the stage of additional near-term downfall.
