The EURGBP exchange rate remains near 0.8450\. The currency pair has so far failed to break this support line at the previous July low and will likely remain within the 0.8450 - 0.8610 channel. Since June of this year, three key points have been identified that define the boundaries of this channel.  
  
**Point A - July 1.**

The exchange rate fell sharply from 0.8610 to 0.8550 due to the simultaneous strengthening of the pound and the weakening of the euro. *(SFA Index indicator, the orange GBP line is rising, the fuchsia EUR line is falling.)*

The euro weakened following the publication of weak inflation data in the Eurozone. Annual CPI index fell from 3.2% to 2.8%. Later, at a press conference at the ECB forum in Sintra, Portugal, Christine Lagarde noted that the risks to inflation and economic growth had become more balanced. Low inflation, coupled with Lagarde's dovish comments, led to a weakening of the euro.

On the same day, at the same forum in Sintra, Bank of England Governor Bailey delivered a hawkish speech, declaring that rate cuts were off the table. His speech was hawkish enough to strengthen the pound sterling. Ultimately, Lagarde's soft rhetoric amid declining inflation and Bailey's hawkish stance doubled the downward pressure on the EURGBP pair, resulting in a breakdown of the established support level at 0.8610.

**Point B - July 15.**

At this point, the EURGBP exchange rate fell sharply again, reaching the current local support level at 0.8450\. This decline was solely due to factors related to the pound sterling *(SFA Index indicator: the orange GBP line is rising sharply, while the fuchsia EUR line is also rising, but only slightly – meaning that during this movement, the euro's rise was slowing the decline in the EURGBP).*  
On this day, the pound's strength was influenced by political factors related to Keir Starmer's final speech to the House of Commons as Prime Minister.  
  
**Point C - October 1-9.**

During this period, the euro experienced a sharp decline *(SFA Index indicator, orange GBP line flat/no change, while the fuchsia EUR line steadily declining).*  
due to problems in the Eurozone contract market. French government bonds came under severe pressure due to concerns about a worsening budget situation in France ahead of next year's presidential elections. This led to a widening yield spread with German bonds and reminded market participants of the 2011 Eurozone debt crisis, resulting in a massive sell-off in European bonds and a weakening of the euro.

We now see that from point 1 Point A, when the 0.8610 support line was broken, the pound sterling index remained unchanged, *while the EUR index fell by 1.6%.* Ultimately, it was the weakening euro that led to the EURGBP pair dawn to 0.8450.

**Possible Future Scenarios**  
The most likely scenario now seems to us to be a pullback in the euro. The euro should rise, as the reaction to rising European bond yields was excessive and caused by fears of a repeat of the 2011 crisis. The situation has now begun to stabilize, meaning a rise in the euro is possible even in the absence of negative news, and the market will likely fail to find the strength to break below the 0.8450 level. The key risks for this support level are continued growth in European bond yields and the potential for a debt crisis, as well as a possible strong strengthening of the pound sterling.

Additionally, the SFA Z-Score indicator shows a strong divergence of more than 2 sigma between the two indices, EUR and GBP. Statistically, this indicates a reversal or stopping point for the currency pair.
