As the greenback did find renewed buying interest at 0.9681 (we recommended to buy at 0.9685 and a long position was entered) and has rallied in line with our bullish expectation, retaining our upside bias for recent upmove from 0.9421 low to to extend gain to 0.9766 resistance, however, break of another previous resistance at 0.9773 is needed to bring further rise towards 0.9800-10 which is likely to hold from here due to near term overbought condition.

In view of this, we are holding on to our long position entered at 0.9685. Only below said support at 0.9681 would abort and signal top is formed instead, bring correction of recent rise towards support at 0.9642 which is likely to hold on first testing.

Trade Idea : GBP/USD – Sell at 1.3500

GBP/USD - 1.3422

Most recent candlesticks pattern   : N/A

Trend                                 : Up

Tenkan-Sen level                 : 1.3406

Kijun-Sen level                    : 1.3426

Ichimoku cloud top              : 1.3514

Ichimoku cloud bottom        : 1.3493

New strategy  :

Sell at 1.3500, Target: 1.3380, Stop: 1.3535

Position : -

Target :  -

Stop : -

As cable has rebounded after falling to 1.3364 earlier today, suggesting minor consolidation above this level would be seen and corrective bounce to 1.3455-60 cannot be ruled out, however, reckon upside would be limited to 1.3500 and bring another decline later, below said support at 1.3364 would extend recent decline from 1.3658 top to 1.3345-50 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 1.3153-1.3658) and possibly towards previous resistance at 1.3329. 

In view of this, would not chase this fall here and would be prudent to sell cable on further recovery as 1.3500 should hold. Above resistance at 1.3514 would defer and risk a stronger rebound to 1.3535-40 but resistance at 1.3571 should remain intact.
