Despite hitting a 3-year peak of 1.4250 on Jun 01, a selloff to as low as 1.3412 in Sep confirms long-awaited correction has occurred n would head to 1.3000 but o/sold readings on daily indicators should keep price abv 1.2831. Only weekly close abv 1.3409 signals temporary low is made, risks stronger retracement twd 1.3514.
Today, cable's strong rebound FM 1.3162 to 1.3176 signals downtrend FM 2021 peak at 1.4250 (May) has made temp. low, as hourly oscillators' readings would be in o/bot territory on next rise, reckon 1.3311 would cap upside n yield decline later. Below 1.3233 signals top made n heads twd 1.3188. Abv 1.3311, 1.3340/50.
