Although cable staged a strong rebound after yesterday’s brief fall to 1.2589, as long as 1.2710 holds, mild downside  bias remains for another decline, below 1.2635-40 would bring another fall towards said support but break there is needed to retain bearishness and signal recent decline has resumed for weakness towards 1.2550, however, oversold condition should limit downside to 1.2520-25. 

In view of this, we are holding on to our short position entered at 1.2695. Only above 1.2720-25 would abort and suggest low has been formed instead, bring a stronger rebound to 1.2755-60 and possibly 1.2780 but price should falter below indicated strong resistance at 1.2818.
