Although cable retreated after edging higher to 1.3596 and consolidation with mild downside bias is seen for weakness towards the Kijun-Sen (now at 1.3534), below 1.3500 is needed to revive near term bearishness and signal the rebound from 1.3452 has ended, bring further fall to 1.3470, then test of said support. Looking ahead, only a drop below 1.3452 would add credence to our view that top has been formed at 1.3658 earlier this week, bring retracement of recent rise to 1.3400-05 (50% Fibonacci retracement of 1.3153-1.3658).
On the upside, above 1.3600 would extend gain to 1.3620-25, however, still reckon said this week’s high at 1.3658 would hold from here, bring retreat later. Only a break above said resistance at 1.3658 would signal recent upmove has resumed and extend gain to 1.3690-00 later. As near term outlook is still mixed, would be prudent to stand aside for now.
