Although the sharp fall to 1.2412 at the start of Jan 2019, then to a 34-month bottom of 1.1959 in Sep suggests correction has ended, sterling's subsequent rally to as high as 1.3516 in mid-Dec on easing of market woes of a hard Brexit suggests choppy trading abv 1.1491 would continue. Having said that, Dec's fall to 1.2905 signals consolidation with downside bias remains for weakness twd 1.2737 (50% r fm 1.1959). Only abv 1.3283 indicates pullback fm 1.3516 has ended n may climb back twd 1.3516 in Feb/Mar.
Today, cable's rebound fm 1.2962 (Mon) to 1.3083 on Tue suggests choppy trading abv last week's 1.2955 low would continue, subsequent retreat to 1.3040 signals downside bias remains, below 1.3021/23 would yield weakness to 1.2996 but 1.2962 should hold. Only abv 1.3083 risks marginal gain to 1.3100/05.
