- The larger falling trend line resistance is a tough nut to crack as discussed in the morning outlook.
- The resistance stands at 1.4590-1.46 and Cable’s failure to take out the same in Europe despite strong data and absence of Brexit polls could lead to a fall back to 1.4550-1.4530 levels.
- A break below 1.4530 would shift risk in favor a drop below 1.45 levels.
- On the higher side, 1.4660 stands as a strong resistance and only a day end closing above the same would add credence to breach of falling trend line resistance.
