After the UK and EU reached on Brexit deal on Thursday, the pair EUR/USD showed an upward movement trend, and the same trend was followed on Friday.
The pair could continue to move in upward direction if the ECB decided to look away from monetary policy easing.

UK Parliament sat on Saturday and passed an amendment that required PM Boris Johnson to ask for 3rd extension for Brexit. Johnson was forced to write an extension letter to European Union after the majority of Parliament voted in favor of an amendment against his revised proposed Brexit deal.
Johnson, on Saturday, sends an unsigned letter requesting an extension from the European Union, followed by his signed letter saying that a delay would be a mistake and that he was not in favor of the expansion.
It is now up to European Union to accept or reject his request for an extension. EU Council President Donald Tusks said that he has received the request for extension and would discuss it with EU Members to further respond.
If the European Union rejects this request, then there would be pressure on the UK Parliament to accept the proposed deal of PM Boris Johnson. For now, the UK government would work to get its legislation through parliament on Monday so that it can seek a formal approval in time to exit from Europe on said deadline I,e October 31.
GBP/USD is highly sensitive to Brexit Talks and would start its new week with the headline of the Brexit amendment asked on Saturday.
