As sterling has continued trading with a firm undertone after staging a strong rebound from 1.2589 (last week’s low), suggesting low has been formed there and consolidation with mild upside bias is seen for gain towards resistance at 1.2818, however, a sustained breach above there is needed to add credence to this view and suggest recent decline from 1.3048 has ended at 1.2589, then headway to 1.2850-60 would follow.
Our preferred count on the daily chart is that cable’s rebound from 1.3500 (wave (A) trough) is unfolding as a wave (B) with A ended at 1.7043, followed by triangle wave B and wave C as well as wave (B) has ended at 1.7192, the subsequent selloff is the larger degree wave (C) which is still unfolding with minor wave (III) of larger degree wave 3 ended at 1.1986, hence wave (IV) correction is in progress which could either be a triangle wave (IV) of a complex formation but upside should be limited to 1.3500 and price should falter well below 1.4000, bring another decline in wave (V) of 3 for weakness to 1.1500, then 1.1200.
On the downside, expect pullback to be limited to 1.2660-70 and support at 1.2640 should hold, bring another rebound later. Only a drop below 1.2640 would suggest the rebound from 1.2589 has ended, bring retest of this level, break of this support would revive bearishness and signal recent decline from 1.3048 top has resumed for retracement of early upmove to 1.2550, then towards previous support at 1.2515.
