Well lets think about it.
Lets say EUR/USD and GBP/USD wil stay flat. Then lets say EUR/GBP will go up 70 pips or so. Then lets assume that USD is Flat/neutral across the board.
EUR/GBP going up 70 pips means people are buying EUR’s by dumping GBP’s, meaning that it will tend to put selling pressure on gbp/usd and buying pressure on eur/usd all else being equal. It’s called cross pair flows. Now if EUR/GBP goes on uptrend for a few hundred pips you should definitely see it in the price action as rallies in GBP/USD get capped, and support levels get broken more easier than EUR/USD, and in EUR/USD resistance get broken more easily, and support is present more easily. It also depends what the dollar is doing.
As for the triangular arbitrage stuff I would have to think about that a bit more.
