As the British pound found support at 1.3109 yesterday and rebounded again, suggesting further consolidation would be seen but as long as resistance at 1.3178 holds, prospect of another decline remains, below said support at 1.3109 would signal the rebound from 1.3039 has ended, bring further fall to 1.3060-65, then retest of said support. Looking ahead, only a drop below 1.3027 low would confirm early downtrend has resumed for weakness to psychological support at 1.3000, then towards 1.2970-75. Â
In view of this, we are holding on to our short position entered at 1.3175. Above 1.3175-80 would risk gain to 1.3200, break there would defer and prolong choppy trading, risk a stronger rebound to 1.3235-40 first.
