Looking at the bigger picture, despite a 'flash crash' to 2016 Oct's 31- year bottom at 1.1491, subsequent erratic rise to 1.2775 in Dec confirms a major low has been made. Having said that, sterling's subsequent fall to 1.1983 in mid -Jan suggests 1st leg of correction has ended n sideways swings are in store. The spectacular rally (biggest 1-day gain in nearly 2 decades) to 1.2416 in mid- Jan, then 1.2706 at start of Feb signals said fall fm 1.2775 has ended there. Cable's fall fm 1.2706 to 1.2347 n then subsequent daily sideways swings suggest retracement twd 1.2259 (61.8% r) may be seen b4 rebound. A daily close abv 1.25 82 would signal pullback is over n may risk re-test of 1.2706 in March.

Today, despite cable's selloff fm 1.2570 (Fri) to 1.2384 on Mon, subsequent rebound suggests price would 'gyrate' inside recent broad range of 1.2347 -1.2582, having said that, anticipated usd strength should pressure price but as hourly indicators has displayed 'bullish convergences', 1.2347 should hold.
