Cable rallied yesterday and broke above indicated previous resistance at 1.2706, adding credence to 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 1.2940-50 and possibly psychological resistance at 1.3000 would be seen, however, near term overbought condition should limit upside to 1.3050-60. 

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 1.2795-00 is likely, reckon downside would be limited and 1.2740-50 should attract renewed buying interest and bring another rally later. Below 1.2690-00 would defer and risk correction to 1.2660-65 but another previous resistance at 1.2616 (wave i top) should remain intact.
