Cable is consolidating

The short-term bull trend is showing some signs of tiring but underlying dynamics remain bullish and scope for losses appears limited at this point. 

Sterling’s break above 1.2586 – the 50% retracement resistance of the July/October decline in the Pound keeps the upside focus on a push higher to the low 1.27s (61.8% retracement at 1.2716).

Support is seen at 1.2565/1.2570.
