Based on the current technical picture, the EUR/GBP is likely to continue trading lower and support levels can be found at 0.8380, 0.8350, and 0.8330.  Resistance levels can be found at 0.8430 (20-day SMA), 0.8450, and 0.8500. The 0.8380 is a strong support which if breached would mark a low since 2022 and would confirm a negative outlook for the cross.
