. On the bigger picture, although early selloff fm Jun's 7-month peak at 1.5930 to 1.5330 in Jul confirms MT upmove fm 2015 bottom at 1.4566 (Apr) has made a top there as this high was accompanied by 'bearish divergences' on the daily indicators, subsequent strg bounce to 1.5676 n then the 2-week broad sideways swings suggest further choppy consolidation would continue, perhaps the upcoming FOMC statements n Thur's first reading of the key U.S. GDP may help cable stage a 'breakout' of its near term established 1.5676-1.5467 range. Abv previous strg res at 1.5671/76 would shift risk to the upside for gain to 1.5701 (61.8% r of 1.59360-1.5330) but abv pivotal res at 1.5789 needed to bring a retest of 1.5930 in Aug. a daily close below 1.5467 would shift risk to downside n yield weakness twd 1.5330 next week.
. Today, as current price is trading abv 21-hr & 55-hr emas, buying on dips is favoured but 1.5676 may hold. Below 1.5674 would yield 1.5528, 1.5490.
