Although cable staged another strong rebound since yesterday, as this move from 1.3039 is viewed as retracement of last week’s selloff, reckon upside would be limited and mild downside bias remains for weakness to 1.3095-00 but below 1.3065-70 is needed to signal the rebound from 1.3039 has ended and bring retest of recent low at 1.3027. Looking ahead, only a drop below this level would confirm early downtrend has resumed for weakness to psychological support at 1.3000, then towards 1.2970-75.  

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.
