Regain of the latter to confirm completion of corrective phase and trigger fresh extension of larger bull-trend, with psychological 1.4000 barrier seen as next target.

GBPUSD
Cable trades in shallow correction off fresh high at 1.6819, after fresh bulls completed 1.6821/1.6464 corrective phase. Overall picture remains positive and favors final push through 1.6821 peak, to resume broader bull-trend on extension of the third wave from 1.6548, 04 Apr higher low, to 1.6849, its 138.2% Fibonacci expansion and 1.6900, Fibonacci expansion 161.8%, in extension. However, risk of further consolidation and possible deeper corrective action is seen on overextended studies on 4-hour chart, as Evening star pattern is forming on a daily chart and today’s close in red would signal beginning of near-term corrective phase, before fresh attempt higher. Conversely, break and close above 1.6821 level, is required too neutralize.

However, hesitation on approach to key support levels, should be anticipated, as 4-hour studies are overextended.
