Looking at the daily chart, we notice that on Wednesday, bears showed more sway allowing the pair rally further. Yesterday, the price moved to a higher trading zone 0.8504 – 0.8649.
A close above the high end of the zone could push EUR/GBP towards 0.8687. Further close above 0.8723 opens the door for bulls to lead the market towards 0.8832. Having said that, the weekly resistance levels underlined on the chart (zoomed in) should be watched closely.
Its worth noting that, if the price breaks and remains above the neckline of double top pattern residing at 0.8596, this could send EURGBP towards 0.8891. Special attention should be paid to the trading zones marked on the chart as some traders might exit/join the market around these points.
On the flip-side, any close below the low end of the zone could generate a comeback signal for bears, and may encourage them to press EURGBP towards 0.8400 handle. Further close below that level could send the price even lower towards 0.8276. In that scenario, the daily support levels and area printed on the chart would be worth monitoring.

Thus, a break above 0.8632 could cause a rally towards 0.8669. Although, the high end of current trading zone discussed on the daily chart should be considered. On the other hand, a break below 0.8490 could send EURGBP towards 0.8422. Yet, the daily support level marked on the chart should be kept in focus.
