. GBP/USD - 1.6946 ... Despite cable's brief drop to 1.6968 ahead of European open on Tue, the pair rebounded briefly to 1.6995 on short-covering in Europe but selling interest quickly emerged n cable tumbled to 1.6933 in NY morning after the release of much stronger-than-expected US consumer confidence.
. Looking at the daily picture, last week's break of 1.7037 strongly suggests the LT uptrend has formed a temporary top at 1.7192 n y'day's breach of indicated daily sup at 1.6952 confirms this view n further weakness to 1.6919/20 (61.8% projection of 1.7095-1.6962 measured fm 1.7001 n Jun 18 low respectively) wud be seen, however, as hourly oscillators' readings have displayed 'bullish convergences', steep decline is unlikely to be seen. Going forward, a daily close below 1.6920 wud send cable lower to 1.6845 n then twd 1.6738 in Aug.
. Today, we're holding a short position in anticipation of marginal weakness to 1.6920 n wud look to sell cable again on subsequent recovery as only abv 1.6995/01 res area (y'day's n Mon's high respectively) wud confirm a temp. low is made n risk retracement to 1.7024, break wud bring stronger gain to 1.7054, however, 1.7095/99 res area is expected to remain intact.
