EUR/GBP is still vulnerable for losses

FXStreet (Moscow) - EUR/GBP opened the week at 0.8258, and just managed to reach high 0.8285, retracing back to 0.8270 at the moment.

European price pressure is of interest

The pair got the inspiration from surprisingly weak UK retail sales. Nevertheless, the move was limited by 0.8260/70 resistance area, and the chances for another reversal are quite high, especially if scheduled for released today EMU data disappoint. Inflation numbers are very important for the ECB to decide whether the economy needs additional stimulus right now. The slowing price pressure may give an impulse to retrace to 0.8245 support level followed by 0.8226.
