EUR/GBP retreats from 0.8250 resistance

FXStreet (Moscow) - EUR/GBP opened the day at 0.8240 and was ticking higher in the morning, but the pound strength helped the pair move to 0.8236 low.

The pound will control the move

We already got the German Gfk data confirming the unchanged consumer sentiment at 8.5, and supporting the single currency mildly. And we already heard the BOE’s Carney saying the UK recovery broadening, and supporting the pound. Now it's the pound's turn to control the pair move. Scheduled for release GDP numbers for the first three months of the year are very important, as they may confirm again the fastest among the G7 pace of British economy growth. If so, wait for the move lower with initial target at 0.8224 support level. However, the pair is busy testing 0.8250 area at the moment, and although the resistance is a hard one, the euro recovery in EUR/USD may support the move higher with initial target at 0.8263.
