The daily chart shows the EUR/GBP trading at 0.8712, a few pips below the top of the descending channel from mid-November highs, with technical indicators reflecting a mild positive momentum. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram expands moderately, suggesting strengthening bullish impetus, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 55, showing a neutral-to-bullish bias.
