EUR/GBP Technical Analysis: Ascending trend-channel keeps a lid on the bullish momentum

   “¢   The cross continued gaining positive traction for the seventh trading session in the previous eight and climbed back closer to 10-month tops touched earlier this month.

   “¢   The up-move over the past one week or so has mostly been confined within an upward sloping trend-channel, suggesting a continuation of the bullish trajectory.  

   “¢   However, technical indicators on the 1-hourly chart have started losing positive momentum and could be the only factor keeping a lid on any further up-move.  

   “¢   Hence, a sustained break back below the key 0.90 psychological mark should prompt some additional long-unwinding trade and drag the cross towards retesting the trend-channel support.
