On the bigger picture, despite cable's brief break of 2016 post-Brexit low of 1.1491 to a near 35-year trough of 1.1412 in mid-Mar 2020 on safe-haven usd's demand following free fall in global stocks, price rallied to 1.3686 on the last trading day of 2020 following a last-minute EU-UK trade deal, then to a near 34-month 1.4241 peak in late Feb suggests a major low is made. Despite hitting a 3-year peak of 1.4250 on Jun 01, selloff to as low as 1.3753 in Jul confirms long-awaited correction has occurred. Although cable rallied back to 1.39 83 (Jul), last week's decline to 1.3602 would re-test 1.3573, break extends MT fall fm 1.4250 to 1.3460, then 1.3305/06 b4 prospect of a correction in Sep.
Today, upmove fm Fri's 1-month low at 1.3602 to 1.3767 Wed may head twd 1.3786, however, 'bearish divergences' on hourly indicators should cap price at 1.3800/10. Below 1.3732/36 would be 1st signal temp. top is made n head back to 1.3694/98, break would risk stronger retracement twd 1.3661.
