EUR/GBP chart - Trading View 

A modest GBP uptick amid the latest optimism over Brexit talks drags EUR/GBP lower.

The pair was trading 0.28% lower on the day at 0.9015 at around 10:00 GMT after closing with a 'Doji' formation in the previous session.

Britain's chief negotiator David Frost said on Thursday that a Brexit agreement can be reached in September.

The next round of Brexit talks is set to commence in Brussels on August 18th and the two sides remain committed to reaching a deal.

On the data front, eurozone Q2 GDP printed inline with expectations at -12.1% QoQ during the April-June period and -15.0% on an annualized basis. 

Additional data showed the Employment Change to contract 2.8% QoQ during the same period.

The pair struggles for direction as price action hovers around 21-EMA. Breakout of 'Symmetric Triangle' pattern will provide clear directional bias.
