Cable’s sharp recovery appears to have met resistance in the 1.2300 neighbourhood for the time being, area coincident with a Fibo retracement of the March pullback. However, the positive price action was on the back of shrinking open interest and volume, noting the presence of short covering and thus exposing some lack of sustainability of the move.
