As cable has maintained a firm undertone after staging a strong rebound from 1.3070, suggesting near term upside risk remains for marginal gain, however, as broad outlook remains consolidative, reckon upside would be limited and indicated strong resistance at 1.3279-87 would remain intact, bring retreat later, below 1.3190 would suggest an intra-day top is formed, bring weakness to 1.3150-55 but break of 1.3120-25 is needed to signal the rebound from 1.3070 has ended, then further fall to 1.3100, then retest of 1.3070 would follow.

In view of this, we are holding on to our short position entered at 1.3255. Only above indicated strong resistance at 1.3279-87 would abort and shift risk to the upside for the erratic rise from 1.3027 low is still in progress for further gain to 1.3300-10, then towards 1.3340-50.
