GBP/USD - 1.3263.. Cable went through a roller-coaster session y'day as despite dropping fm European 1.3300 res to 1.3229, then 1.3183 on renewed Brexit concerns, price pared its losses n rebounded to 1.3259 in NY afternoon.
On the bigger picture, cable's rally fm 2016 31-year bottom at 1.1491 caused by a 'flash crash' on Brexit worries to 2018 21-month peak at 1.4377 in Apr confirms major low has been made. Despite subsequent fall to 1.2662 (Aug), then weakness to a 20-month bottom of 1.2412 at the start of Dec and gain to as high as 1.3218 in Jan due to Brexit optimism, then to 1.3351 in Feb suggests said MT fall has ended. Last week's rise above this res to a near 9-month peak at 1.33 83 suggests upmove fm said 1.2412 low would extend to 1.3472 after consolidation, however, 'bearish divergences' on daily indicators would keep price below 1.3610 20. On the downside, only below 1.3005 indicates temp. top is made, risks 1.2945.
Today, although price has rebounded after y'day's resumption of decline fm Mar's nr 9-month peak at 1.3383 to 1.3183 n minor consolidation would be seen, reckon 1.3280/85 would cap upside n yield another fall later. However, 1.3149 (61.8% r of 1.3005-1.3383) should contain downside n bring rebound.
