EUR/GBP slightly higher after BoE
FXstreet.com (Córdoba) - As expected the BoE decision didn't take market by surprise having little impact on the pound, which only weakened slightly in the wake of the statement.
The BoE decided to maintain its key lending rate at 0.5% and the QE amount at £375 billion. The EUR/GBP advanced a few pips and retested daily highs at 0.8411 from 0.8402 pre-BoE, but momentum was lacking as it remains to be seen what the European Central Bank has to say. At time of writing, EUR/GBP is trading at the 0.8410 area, 0.1% above its opening price.
EUR/GBP technical levels
In terms of technical levels, if EUR/GBP breaks above 0.8410, next resistances are seen at 0.8415 (Nov 6 high) and 0.8463 (Nov 5 high), while below 0.8400 supports could be found at 0.8377 (Nov 6 low) and 0.8365 (Oct 3 low).
