If we looked at the weekly candle, it reads a bottom at 0.81 round, and a top at 0.8147, with no body, last at 0.8114, as it started early Monday in Asia-Pacific.

Today we have both ECB and BoE meetings, at 12:45 GMT and 12:00 GMT respectively, followed by the press conference at 13:30 GMT in ECB's case, and no changes expected to be announced.
