Cable traded narrowly after falling to 1.3358 yesterday and further sideways trading is seen for the fall from 1.3550 resumes, below said support would add credence to our bearish view that top has been formed at 1.3550, hence downside bias remains for at least a retracement of recent rise to 1.3340-50 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 1.3221-1.3550) but 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. Only above said resistance at 1.3461 would defer and risk test of resistance at 1.3483 but break there is needed to signal an intra-day low is formed instead, bring another bounce to 1.3530-35 first.
