On the bigger picture, despite cable's brief break of 2016 post-Brexit low of 1.1491 to a near 35-year trough of 1.1412 in mid-Mar 2020 on safe-haven usd's demand following free fall in global stocks. Although cable rallied to 1.3686 on the last trading day of 2020 following a last-minute EU-UK trade deal, then to a near 34-month 1.4241 peak in late Feb, subsequent fall to 1.36 70 in Apr signals top is made n stronger retracement to 1.3566 would be seen. Having said that, cable's rise abv prev. Apr's 1.3919 high to 1.4009 n then retreat to 1.3801 last Mon suggests volatile consolidation is in store, abv 1.4158 would head back twd 1.4182 but 1.4241 would hold. Below 1.3801, 1.3717.
Today, as y'day's rally to 1.4158 suggests correction fm Feb's 1.4241 peak has ended earlier at 1.3670 (Apr), subsequent retreat would bring choppy sideways swings b4 heading to 1.4205/10, as hourly indicators would display 'bearish divergences', 1.4241 should hold. Below 1.4044 signals top, 1.4016/20.
