EUR/GBP nose-dives towards 0.7700

The European cross intensifies its offered tone today in response to the solid performance of the British pound, while the single currency keeps free-falling across the board.

Increasing hopes of a deal between the UK and its EU counterparts at the 2-day gathering in Brussels have been sustaining today’s GBP upside momentum. Furthermore, the sterling found additional support in the appreciations by BoE’s J.Cunliffe regarding the outlook for a rate hike in the UK economy.

On the other hand, the next resistance lies at 0.7901 (high Feb11) followed by 0.8007 (high Dec.16 2014) and then 0.8041 (high Nov.27 2014).
