GBP/USD: 1.5180... Despite rising initially in tandem with EUR/USD to a one-month high of 1.5261 last Mon, cable came under renewed selling pressure n ratcheted lower to 1.5092 on Wed b4 rebounding to 1.5222 on Fri (Tokyo).
Looking at the daily chart, although cable's strg rebound fm Mar's 2-1/2 year trough at 1.4832 to as high as 1.5261 confirms the 3-legged MT downtrend fm 1.6747 (2011 peak) has made a temporary low there, subsequent choppy trading fm there signals initial range trading is in store n as long as said reaction high holds, MT decline wud resume later this month, a daily close below 1.5026 wud add credence to this view n yield re-test of 1.4832. In view of abv analysis, selling sterling on recovery is the way to go as only abv 1.5330 wud shift risk to upside n bring stronger correction to 1.5423, being a 'minimum' 38.2% r of the intermediate fall fm 1.6380-1.4832.
Today, although cable has edged lower in tandem with euro in Asia, below 1.5135 needed to indicate correction over n yield weakness twd 1.5092 whilst abv 1.5222 wud extend erratic rise fm 1.5092 twd 1.5261 but 1.5300 shud cap upside.
