As the British pound ran into resistance at 1.2818 yesterday and has retreated on dollar’s broad-based strength after Fed rate hike, suggesting the rebound d from 1.2635 has ended there and consolidation with mild downside bias remains for weakness to 1.2680-90, however, break there is needed to retain bearishness and bring further fall to 1.2650, then towards said support at 1.2635.
In view of this, we are holding on to our short position entered at 1.2790. Only above said resistance at 1.2818 would defer and risk a strong rebound to 1.2845-50 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 1.2978-1.2635) but upside should be limited to 1.2870-80.
