Daily Analysis
Choppy consolidation to continue
Resistance
1.3281 - Aug 03 low (now res)
1.3246 - 61.8% r of 1.3481-1.2865
1.3211 - Y'day's high

GBP/USD - 1.3184.. Sterling continued its winning streak n rallied to 1.3211 in early European trading on short-covering. Price moved sideways in NY morning n later rebounded to 1.3211 again in NY afternoon b4 retreating.
On the bigger chart, despite resumption of downtrend to a fresh 31-year bottom at 1.2798 in Jul n then a rally to 1.3481, subsequent fall to 1.2865 last Mon signals correction is over, having said that, sterling's strg bounce to 1.31 86 on Fri n then 1.3211 y'day suggests price is not yet ready to re-test 1.2798 n further consolidation is in store. Abv 1.3186 would bring stronger retracement twd 1.3248 (being 61.8% r of 1.3481-1.2865), however, as hourly indicators' read ings would display 'bearish divergences' on such rise, pivotal res at 1.3372 (Aug's high) is expected to hold n yield another fall later this month. Below 1.2941/45 would yield 1.2865, break there should extend weakness twd 1.2798.
Today, as y'day's break of last Fri's high at 1.3186 suggests intra-day upside bias remains for further gain after consolidation, however, anticipated 'bearish divergences' on hourly indicators should prevent strg gain beyond 1.32 46 n yield decline later. Only below 1.3129 wud indicate temp. top made, 1.3082.
