As cable has retreated after rising to indicated upside target at 1.3082 (approx. 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 1.3269-1.2774), suggesting consolidation below this level would be seen and pullback to previous resistance at 1.2996 (now support) cannot be ruled out, however, reckon 1.2975-80 would limit downside and bring another rise later, above said resistance at 1.3082 would extend the rise from 1.2774 (a leg trough) to 1.3120-25, however, near term overbought condition should limit upside and resistance at 1.3165 should hold from here, bring retreat later. 

In view of this, would not chase this rise here and would be prudent to buy sterling on further subsequent pullback. Below 1.2955-60 would defer and suggest top is possibly formed, risk weakness to 1.2909 but only break there would add credence to this view, bring further fall to 1.2880 and later test of indicated support at 1.2852, however, as low has been formed at 1.2774, downside would be limited and 1.2800 should hold, bring another rebound later.

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.
