Cable’s anticipated selloff has reinforced our view that top has been formed at 1.3550 and consolidation with downside bias remains for the fall from 1.3550 to bring retracement of recent rise, hence further weakness to 1.3340-50 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 1.3221-1.3550) would be seen, however, near term oversold condition should prevent sharp fall below 1.3300 and reckon 1.3260-65 would hold, bring rebound later. 

In view of this, we are holding on to our short position entered at 1.3440. Above the Kijun-Sen (now at 1.3451) would defer and risk test of resistance at 1.3483 but only break there would signal an intra-day low is formed instead, bring another bounce to 1.3530-35 first.
