GBPUSD
Cable trades within narrow consolidation on Thursday, holding above Wednesday's new low at 1.3305 (the lowest since mid-Dec), awaiting release of UK retail sales for fresh signal. Pullback from 1.4376 peak could extend further as strong bearish signal was generated on break below 1.3442 pivot (Fibo 38.2% of 1.1930/1.4376 recovery phase), as violation of top of thick weekly cloud 1.3205) would generate fresh bearish signal. Better than expected UK retail sales (Apr 0.8% f/c vs -1.2% prev) could spark stronger recovery for test of pivotal barrier at 1.3464 (falling 10SMA). Weaker dollar and positive signal from rising momentum support the notion, but overall outlook remains bearish.
