Although cable rallied strongly to 1.3686 on the last trading day of 2020 following a last-minute EU-UK trade deal, then to a 34-month peak at 1.4241 in late Feb, subsequent fall to 1.3779 last Fri signals top is made n stronger retracement to 1.3636, then twd 1.3566 is envisaged. Only abv 1.4017 signals 1st leg of correction over, 1.4120/30.
Today, cable's weakness to a near 3-week low of 1.3779 suggests decline fm Feb's near 34-month peak at 1.4241 would head to 1.3751 after consolidation, 'bullish convergences' on hourly indicators may keep price abv 1.3723. Only a daily close abv 1.3906 risks stronger retracement to 1.3933, then 1.3970/80.
