On the daily chart, the EUR/GBP cross has been trading lower since the high made on July 20 around 0.8669. The price recovered from the low made on August 10 near 0.8450.
A sustained move below the intraday low would meet the 0.8540 horizontal support level.
In doing so, EUR/GBP bears would then make a way to reach the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.8518.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator trades in the oversold zone. Any downtick in the MACD would prompt bears to retest the 0.8490 horizontal support level.
Alternatively, if price moves higher, in that case, the first upside target emerges at the 0.8580 horizontal resistance level.
Next, the bulls would aim at the 0.8610 horizontal resistance level followed by the high made on July 21 at 0.8658.
