As the British pound has eased after Friday’s brief rise to 1.3338, suggesting minor consolidation below this level would be seen, however, as long as 1.3245-50 holds, bullishness remains for the rise from 1.3027 low to bring a stronger retracement of recent decline, hence gain to 1.3345-50 and then 1.3375-80 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 1.3596-1.3027), however, overbought condition should limit upside to 1.3400-10, bring another retreat later.

In view of this, we are holding on to our long position entered at 1.3250. Below 1.3245 would defer and risk test of the Kijun-Sen (now at 1.3223), break there would defer and suggest top is formed, bring weakness to 1.3200, then towards 1.3175 but said support at 1.3121 should remain intact.
