EUR/GBP Technical Analysis: Struggling near 1-1/2 month lows, 200-DMA ahead of Carney/UK CPI

   •  Having faced rejection near the 0.9100 handle, the cross witnessed a sharp retracement and finally broke through a one-month-old consolidative range last Friday.

   •  The post-breakdown slide below 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the mid-Dec to early-Jan. upsurge has found some support at the very important 200-day SMA.

   •  Technical indicators on the daily chart maintain their bearish bias and are still far from being in the oversold territory, increasing prospects for further downside.

   •  The set-up clearly points to an extension of the recent downward trajectory towards testing 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level support en-route the 0.8800 handle.
