Cable eventually broke above multi-month congestion tops at 1.6820 and trades at levels last time seen in 2009.

Sustained break higher is required to shift focus towards psychological 1.7000 barrier and key longer-term resistance at 1.7041, August 2009 peak. Overall picture remains bullish and keeps the upside favored, with corrective dips to face initial support at 1.6780 higher base. Key near-term support lies at 1.67 base and only break here would sideline near-term bulls.
