EUR/GBP Technical Analysis: Extends positive momentum beyond 0.90 handle post-UK PMI

   •  The cross stalled last week's sharp corrective slide from near one-year tops and managed to defend a short-term descending trend-line support, extending from mid-June. 

   •  The cross opened with a bullish gap in wake of the EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier's Brexit comments over the weekend, opposing the UK PM Theresa May's latest Brexit proposal.

   •  The cross built on the positive momentum further beyond the key 0.90 psychological mark post-UK manufacturing PMI, coming in to show a larger than expected decline in August.

   •  Meanwhile, technical indicators on the daily chart have started picking up positive momentum and thus, increase prospects for an extension of the pair's intraday bullish move.
