Cable eventually accelerated lower, after past two-day trading that showed relative hesitation for stronger pullback, after upside rejection at 1.4457. Repeated long-legged daily candles confirmed the notion, with stronger bearish acceleration being triggered by dollar-supportive US data and persisting Brexit fears.
Fresh bears probe below 1.42 handle, after returning below daily Ichimoku cloud base at 1.4238 and Fibonacci 61.8% of 1.4056/1.4457 recovery rally.
This gives strong bearish signals for possible full retracement of 1.4056/1.4457 upleg, as Slow Stochastic of daily chart reversed lower, just under overbought zone border and Momentum moved into negative territory.
The pair eyes immediate support at 1.4140 (bull-trendline, connecting 1.3834/1.4056 lows, below which there is no significant obstacles en-route to 1.4056 target.
Broken daily cloud base now marks initial resistance at 1.4238, followed by 1.4256 (daily Tenkan-sen line) and 1.4277 (daily 20SMA). Only close above the latter would sideline immediate downside threats.
