This is a good time to revisit this blog article
Note in the chart posted below how EURGBP found support, bounced and how GBPUSD, initially boosted by this selling of this cross, lost its bid.
Notice how GBPUSD lost its bid after a sell order in EURGBP was filled.
EURUSD initially bounced on the bounce in EURGBP (last .8362 vs an .8345 low).
EURUSD has since followed GBPUSD lower with a lag, moving back below 1-08 so far holding above the earlier 1-0790 low.
Sojeep an eye on this crossw as you can see how crosses can give a clkue to what isa driving the spot market.
