The price tested 200DMA at 1.3136, with psychological 1.3100 support, also 50% of 1.2754/1.3450, being in near-term focus. Negative near-term studies, along with daily indicators entering negative territory, see scope for further downside, with break below 1.3100, expected to open 1.3050, 16/07 low and 1.3020, Fibonacci 61.8% retracement. Previous supports at 1.3180/1.3200, now act as initial resistances, with the latter being reinforced by descending 20DMA.

GBPUSD

Cable trades in the near-term consolidative mode, after cracking psychological 1.5600 barrier on a spike to 1.5603. The second day closing above 200DMA, gives more credibility to the recovery rally from 1.5427, where pullback from 1.5716, 21/08 peak, found support. Positive tone prevails on near-term studies, with price action retracing so far 61.8% of 1.5716/1.5427 descend, keeps the upside in near-term focus. Sustained break above 1.5600 and clearance of the last hurdle at 1.5636, is required to confirm bulls for eventual push towards key 1.5700/16 barriers. Initial support lies at 1.5521, Tuesday’s low, ahead of 1.5500, 200DMA and higher lows at 1.5461/27, loss of which will be bearish.
