There was little reaction to the debate fiasco although it may have election implications depending on how things play out.
EURUSD is ending the week with a bid despite the French vote, which suggests it may be discounted but has longer-term implications.
GBP ending the week on a softer note vs. the EUR although from what I hear, the spin on Thursday’s election is that a majority result for Labour is seen as a positive.
It is hard to say whether the move up in EURGBP is quarter end related or some position adjustments ahead of next week’s UK election.
If you are looking for a source of earlier EURUSD demand and the gBPUSD lag, look no further than EURGBP.
As this chart shows, the move up [aused below key resistance (.8478), allowing GBPUSD to play some catch-up. Upiside will be conyained if this level holds.
With the GBPUSD 9 candle winning streak broken after a failure to regain 1.27+, attention shifts to the 1.2621 low, but only if it can establish below 1.2669.
With that said, GBPUSD is a laggard as it gets support from various crosses, (EURGBP lower, GBPJPY higher).
This comes in the year of elections where the UK vote is so far not having much impact. Here is an article in this regard
USDX 4 HOUR CHART – EURUSD PROXY (57.6% OF THE INDEX
Let’s start the day by looking at the USD INdex, where momentum has TILTED to the downside.
However, using USDX as a EURUSD proxy suggests EURUSD would need to extablish above 1.0750 (AND THEN 1.0760-65) to Put pressure on the USDX downside where 105.14 is THE FIRST LEVEL OF support.

THIS IS A GOOD CROSS TO USE AS AN INDICATOIR OF EUR STRENGTH IN WEAKNESS, CURRENTLY THE LATTER AFTER THE GAP LOWER OPENING. –GAP is from .8490-.8371

With next key supports noit until the .83xxs, use .8450 as a focal point wiuthin .84-85 and a move above .85 WOULD BE needed to suggest cooling concenrs.
GBPUSD is trading softer with pressure coming out of its crosses (note firmer EURGBP, softer GBPJPY)_
Howeever, Tt is consolidating as well after last weel’s pause above the key 1.2674 level. This is the level that woould need to be broken to confirm the 1.28 faiure and that the high is in for now.
Aboce 1.2674 it is consolidating.
