EUR/GBP Technical Analysis: Awaits UK jobs data/Carney to breakthrough a 1-week old trading range

   •  The cross has been oscillating within a broader trading range over the past one-week or so, forming a rectangular chart pattern on the 1-hourly chart.

   •  With bulls managing to keep the cross above 100-hour SMA, positive short-term technical indicators support prospects for a bullish breakout. 

   •  The BoE Governor Mark Carney and Deputy Governor Jon Cunliffe's testimony followed by the key US jobs data might provide the required momentum to finally break through the trading range.
