EUR/GBP Technical Analysis: Stuck in a range ahead of ECB

   •  Barring some knee-jerk spikes in either direction, the cross has been largely confined within a narrow trading range over the past 48-hours or so.

   •  The range-bound price action now seems to constitute towards the formation of a rectangular chart pattern on the 1-hourly chart, indicating a consolidation phase before the next leg of directional move.

   •  Neutral technical indicators have done little to determine the near-term direction and hence, it would be prudent to wait for a decisive breakout before committing to the pair's near-term trajectory.
