Cable risk of a more bearish bias
A low level digestion Monday and we simply restate the view from recent client reports that “whilst below 1.7152, we see a bias lower”.
The push last week through the 1.7010/00, retrace/ chart area reinforced the previous push through the “neckline” support from mid-June to maintain a negative tone to the range (range seen as 1.7192-1.6952).
The growing risk is for a late July test to 1.6952 and more negative shift.
WHAT CHANGES THIS?
Downside: Below 1.6952 would set a more bearish theme to target 1.6923 and then retrace level at 1.6885.
Upside: A push above 1.7192 aims for a Fibo extension target at 1.7255 and the long term retrace at 1.7335.
