EURGBP 15 MINUTE CHART – HOW TO USE CROSSES TO TRADE SPOT FOREX
Note how EURUSD lost the bid (last at 1.1020) after EURGBP met resistance (at the blue AT line)
The failure to hold above it and retest the high suggests a lack of power but only a break of 1.3087 would suggest more to the downside. Above 1.3087 it is still in a consolidation mode.
EURGBP, while consolidating between .8398-.8435, is lower today and this has weighed on the EURUSD (but still holding above 1.1030) while GBPUSD has followed with a lag.
So, if trading EURUSD and/or GBPUSD, keep an eye on this cross.
Maybe those still short USD from earlier in the week were hoping for a PCE down surprise to hekp bail them out.

Whatever the case, EURUSD is still above 1.1050 and GBPUSD above but closer to that 1.3144 level.
Liquidating markets will eventually exhaust themselves and finally reach a bottom, either by a key technical level holding or by the selling just running out of steam.
