Given the EUR / GBP falling below the indicated support, along with the bearish MACD and the sustained move below the short-term SMA, bears are now targeting the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the early 2020 move higher. , about 0.8745.

While the early May 2020 high around 0.8815 and the round 0.8800 level can be added as intermediate supports, the EUR / GBP will become vulnerable to visiting April 2020 lows near 0.8670 following a breakout below the 0.8745 level.
