Although cable has maintained a relatively firm undertone after rising to 1.3184 yesterday, still reckon 1.3190-95 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 1.3292-1.3027 as well as 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of 1.3455-1.3027) would cap upside and bring retreat later, below 1.3125-30 would bring test of 1.3100, break there would suggest top is formed, bring subsequent fall to 1.3065-75, break there would suggest the rebound from 1.3027 has ended, bring retest of this level, below there would extend recent decline to psychological support at 1.3000 next.

In view of this, we are holding on to our short position entered at 1.3170. Above 1.3190-95 would risk test of previous support at 1.3222-29 (now resistance), break there would abort and signal low has been formed at 1.3027 instead, bring further gain to 1.3250 but price should falter below resistance at 1.3292.
