. GBP/USD - 1.5592... Although cable opened sharply lower to 1.5510 in tandem with euro on Mon, short-covering quickly lifted price to 1.5599 at European open. The pound briefly retreated to 1.5532 b4 rising to 1.5629 near NY midday.
. On the bigger picture, despite cable's rally to a 7-month peak of 1.5930 in Jun, subsequent strg retreat n then weakness to 1.5510 (Reuters) on Mon signals the upmove fm Apr's near 5-year trough at 1.4566 has formed a top there n consolidation with downside bias remains for weakness to 1.5409, then twd 1.5248 later this month, being a 'minimum' 38.2% r n 'natural' 50% r of the entire rise fm 1.4566-1.5930. The prominent 'bearish divergences' on daily technical indicators at 1.5930 n subsequent sharp retreat add credence to this view. Therefore, selling cable on recovery in anticipation of resumption of aforesaid fall to indicated downside targets is favoured. On the upside, only a daily close above 1.5739 signals 1st leg of correction is over but 1.5815 (May's high) would hold.
. Today, as Mon's near 3-week low at 1.5510 was accompanied by 'bullish convergences' on hourly oscillators, subsequent strg rise to 1.5629 suggests 1-2 days of consolidation is in store, so one can sell on upmove or buy on dips.
