The euro is rightfully little changed on the announcement as all eyes turn towards Lagarde's press conference later at 1230 GMT for more clues on the central bank's latest economic forecasts, inflation outlook, and potential thoughts about the euro currency.
As I discussed in the previous review, the GBP is in strong down cycle and I see potential for further downside continuation.
Further Development
Analyzing the current trading chart of GBP, I found that there is chance for the downside break towards the support cluster at 1,2810 and 1,2760.
My advice is to watch for selling opportunities on the rallies with the targets at ,2810 and 1,2760.
