. On the daily chart, although cable's rally abv Apr's 1.5498 peak at 1.5498 to as high as 1.5815 in May confirms MT downtrend fm 2014 peak at 1.7192 has indeed formed a temporary low at 1.4566, last week's strg retreat to 1.5445 signals aforesaid upmove has formed a top there n y'day's sell off below 1.5445 adds credence to this view. Looking ahead, anticipated weakness in eur/usd suggests cable would be en route to 1.5338 n later 1.5191, being 38.2% r & 50% r respectively of the entire rise fm 1.4566-1.5815. Therefore, selling the pound on recovery in anticipation of further weakness to abovementioned targets is favoured. Only abv 1.5808 wud signal a temporary bottom is made n risk gain twd 1.5635/39.
. Today, we're holding a short position entered at 1.5420 in anticipation of resumption of recent decline to 1.5340, however, 'bullish convergences' on hourly indicators shud keep price abv 1.5300 n bring stronger recovery later.
