Following a pointed out last week, EUR/GBP clocked in its best single day performance since June 2016.

For EUR/GBP, multiple resistance barriers were knocked out within a span of 24 hours. But on the daily chart, we do have the formation of what appears to be a new descending trend line dating back to August. For the time being, this may keep the dominant downtrend since then intact. A push above the line would open the door to overturning the downtrend.
However, this would require ascending through the October high at 0.89394. Until that target is reached, a lack of confirmation would prevent arguing that the pair may be heading for a lasting uptrend.
