Hourly indicators moved above the midlines, with positive 4h structure being supportive for further gains. Clearance of last Friday’s high at 1.3060, is required confirm higher low at 1.2943 and resume recovery rally off 1.2800 **** towards 1.3100, round figure resistance. Initial support lies at 1.3000, ahead of 1.2943, Friday’s low, being reinforced by 55 day EMA.

Cable extends overnight’s gains and breaks above last Friday’s high at 1.5238, keeping the near-term positive structure off 1.5000 ****. Scope is seen for further recovery, as 4h studies maintain positive tone and 20/55 day EMA’s bullish crossover underpins. Immediate targets lay at 1.5280/1.5300, with the latter being 50% of 1.5603/1.5007 downleg, break of which to confirm **** at 1.5000. Solid support lies at 1.5150/00 zone, reinforced by 20/55 day EMA’s crossover and should contain any stronger pullback.

The pair under pressure, following weekly close just above fresh low at 100.20 and overnight’s action being capped at 100.70. With near-term studies holding in the negative territory, immediate risk is seen on a break below 100.20, to open psychological 100.00 support and pivotal zone for retest, as break here is seen as a trigger for further easing and extension of corrective pullback from 103.72 high. Asian high at 100.70 offers initial resistance, ahead of 101.00, round figure / 20 day EMA.

The pair regained some ground on a bounce from last Friday’s low at 0.9548, as Asian session opened with gap higher and price bounced above 0.9600 barrier. However, overall negative tone keeps the downside risk in play, as the price holds within near-term consolidative range of 0.9527/0.9695 . While the latter barrier, reinforced by descending 55 day EMA, stays intact, no significant prospect for stronger recovery would be seen in the near-term, with violation of 0.9527, would trigger fresh weakness and expose psychological 0.9500 support for test.
