On a four-hour scale, the cable is testing the previous major bottom printed on March 14 at 1.3000. It is worth noting that the asset has sensed a textbook kind of resistance from the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which is currently placed at 1.3190. The asset is trading below 20-period EMA to near 1.3050, which adds to the downside filters.

A decisive slippage below the previous week’s low at 1.2982 will trigger a bearish setup for the asset. A drop below the previous week’s low will drag the asset towards the 2 November 2020 low at 1.2854, followed by round level support at 1.2800.
On the flip side, cable bulls may regain control if the asset oversteps April 7 high at 1.3106 confidently. This will drive the pair towards the April 4 high at 1.3137. Breach of the latter will send the asset towards the 200-EMA at 1.3190.
