Stop:-

Sterling has retreated after faltering below indicated resistance at 1.2818, retaining our bearishness and suggesting the rebound from 1.2635 has ended at 1.2818, hence consolidation with downside bias remains for retest of said support, however, break there is needed to confirm recent decline from 1.3048 top has resumed for retracement of early upmove to 1.2600, having said that, downside should be limited to 1.2550 and reckon previous support at 1.2515 would hold.

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 upside, expect recovery to be limited to 1.2750-55 and bring another decline. Only above said resistance at 1.2818 would defer and risk a stronger rebound to 1.2860-70 would but price should falter below 1.2900, bring another selloff later.
