EUR/GBP edged lower on Tuesday after the European session, retreating toward the bottom of its intraday range while holding just above key technical levels. The pair was last seen near the 0.8500 area, down modestly on the day, yet broader signals still point to underlying bullish strength.

Momentum indicators remain mixed. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is neutral at 58.46, showing no immediate threat of overbought or oversold conditions, while the Moving Average Convergence DIvergence (MACD) prints a bullish crossover, suggesting upward momentum could resume. Both the Stochastic %K at 69.95 and the Ultimate Oscillator at 49.06 are also neutral, offering limited directional bias in the short term.

Key moving averages continue to support the bullish case. The 10-day EMA at 0.85468 and SMA at 0.85441 provide dynamic support, while longer-term averages — the 20-day SMA at 0.84520, 100-day at 0.83568, and 200-day at 0.83826 — all trend higher and sit comfortably below current price levels.

Mixed UK inflation data no gamechanger for the Bank of England

Food inflation plunged in January, but service sector price pressure is proving stickier. We continue to expect Bank of England rate cuts in March and June. The latest UK inflation read is a mixed bag for the Bank of England, but we doubt it drastically changes the odds of a March rate cut.
