Although sterling edged higher to 1.3030 earlier today, as cable has retreated after faltering below recent high at 1.3048, suggesting consolidation below this level would be seen and pullback to support at 1.2916 cannot be ruled out, however, reckon previous resistance at 1.2861 would turn into support and limit cable’s downside, bring another rise later, above said resistance at 1.3030 would extend the rise from 1.2589 low towards recent high at 1.3048 but break there is needed to retain bullishness and bring subsequent headway towards 1.3090-00. 

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, whilst initial pullback to 1.2900-10 is likely, reckon 1.2861 (previous resistance turned support) and bring such a rise. Below support at 1.2794 would abort and signal top is formed instead, risk further fall to 1.2750, then towards 1.2706 support.
