Analysis and Recommendations:

The EUR/GBP continued to dip today trading at 0.7835. What can one say, as the euro skyrocketed today on comments from the ECB President vowing to save the monetary union, Draghi noted the bank would not side by and allow the currency to crash. His comments supported the euro which added 200 points almost immediately. For some reason it could not gather strength against the pound.
