Although the British pound retreated after rising to 1.3260 late last week, as 1.3170 has contained downside, retaining our bullishness for recent erratic rise from 1.3039 to bring retest of said resistance, break there would extend headway to 1.3280-90, however, as broad outlook remains consolidative, reckon upside would be limited and another previous resistance at 1.3321 should remain intact, bring retreat later.

In view of this, we are holding on to our long position entered at 1.3180. Below said support at 1.3170 would abort and risk correction to 1.3150 but only break of said support at 1.3134 would signal top has been formed instead, bring weakness to 1.3100, then towards support at 1.3062.
