Cable maintained its bullish tone, despite greenback strengthened across the board, as price still holds above significant support at 1.5900, previous high and 200 day SMA. Fresh rally extended gains to 1.5991 so far, just under our initial target at 1.6000, with current easing seen corrective, as long as 1.5900/1.5880 zone contains.

To improve short-term structure and re-focus upside targets at 1.6000/1.6100, clear break above 1.5900 is required. Hourly studies, however, are losing traction, as price broke below 20 day EMA at 1.5850 that may suggest further easing and retest of strong support zone at 1.5800/1.5770, below which to signal resumption of short-term downtrend off 1.5991.

Current bounce off 1.5695, yesterday’s low, faces resistance at 1.5740, hourly 20 day EMA, while only sustained break above 1.5800, 05 Mar low / 55 day EMA, would ease bear pressure and allow for possible attempt towards 1.5880/1.5900 barriers.

Loss of 0.9140 and more significant level at 0.9126, Fib 61.8% / 55 day EMA, however, would weaken the near-term structure and turn focus towards 0.9100/0.9070.
