Growth in euro is slowing as buying activity started to weaken after the pair updated the March high. In addition, yesterday's momentum could very quickly turn into a smooth decline today, especially after economic reports from the US come out. A decline in initial jobless claims and a rise in primary market housing sales will be enough to put pressure on the pair.
On pound, market players await the Bank of England's monetary policy decision, so the chances of seeing new gains are quite high. It is better to wait for the bank's comments, and in case of a break of the monthly highs, open a buy position, hoping for a continuation of the upward trend.
