Traders will be looking closely at the Retail Sales data release on the London open today for more moves in the pair. Expectation is for the 0.5% decrease in the month-on-month number and anything significantly away from this should see some strong moves. Short term resistance will sit on the 200-day Moving Average with Wednesday\u2019s high that came after a stronger than expected CPI print expected to provide sterner resistance. A weaker result would open the way for a test of the short term trendline support around 1.2570 and would probably have more legs given the dollar momentum at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resistance 2<\/strong> : 1.2761 \u2013 May High<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resistance 1<\/strong> : 1.2711 \u2013 200- Day Moving Average<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Support 1 <\/strong>: 1.2570 \u2013 Short-term Trendline Support<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Support 2<\/strong> : 1.2443 \u2013 May Low<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cable-Hourly-3.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"579\" src=\"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cable-Hourly-3-1024x579.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69961\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cable-Hourly-3-1024x579.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cable-Hourly-3-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cable-Hourly-3-768x434.png 768w, https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cable-Hourly-3.png 1050w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cable has dropped back off of recent monthly highs in the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":69964,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[462],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69958"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69958"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69958\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":69965,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69958\/revisions\/69965"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69958"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69958"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69958"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
