As cable has slipped again after meeting resistance at 1.3514, suggesting near term downside risk remains for the retreat from 1.3550 (last week’s high) to bring retracement of recent rise, hence weakness to 1.3400-05 is likely, however, reckon downside would be limited to 1.3380-85 (50% Fibonacci retracement of 1.3221-1.3550) and bring rebound to 1.3500 but upside should be limited to 1.3515-25, bring another corrective decline later. 

In view of this, whilst we are still looking to buy cable on further corrective fall, we would also sell sterling on recovery as 1.3500 should limit upside. Above 1.3515-25 would signal the retreat from 1.3550 has ended, bring retest of this level, then 1.3575-80 but reckon 1.3600-10 would hold. Below 1.3345-50 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 1.3221-1.3550) would abort and signal top has been formed at 1.3550, bring further fall towards 1.3300-10.
