Stop:-
Although cable slipped initially to 1.2831, the subsequent rebound suggests consolidation with mild upside bias would be seen for gain to 1.2948 but break there is needed to signal the retreat from 1.2965 has ended, bring retest of this level, break there would confirm recent upmove has resumed and extend gain to psychological resistance at 1.3000 but overbought condition should limit upside to 1.3050 and price should falter below 1.3100. We are keeping our view that the wave c as well as larger degree wave B has ended at 1.2109, hence impulsive wave C has commenced from there with wave i of C ended at 1.2616, follow by a correction to 1.2365 (end of wave ii) and wave iii rally is unfolding, hence further gain to indicated upside targets would be seen.
Our preferred count on the daily chart is that cable’s rebound from 1.3500 (wave (A) trough) is unfolding as a wave (B) with A ended at 1.7043, followed by triangle wave B and wave C as well as wave (B) has ended at 1.7192, the subsequent selloff is the larger degree wave (C) which is still unfolding with minor wave (III) of larger degree wave 3 ended at 1.1986, hence wave (IV) correction is in progress which could either be a triangle wave (IV) of a complex formation but upside should be limited to 1.3500 and price should falter well below 1.4000, bring another decline in wave (V) of 3 for weakness to 1.1500, then 1.1200.
On the downside, expect pullback to be limited to 1.2850-60 and bring another rise later. Below said support at 1.2831 would risk weakness to support at 1.2805 but break there is needed to signal a temporary top is possibly formed, bring retracement of recent rise to support at 1.2757 and bring another rise later. A drop below this level would defer and signal a temporary top is formed instead, risk correction of recent upmove to 1.2700-10 later.
