Cable came off recent multi-month highs in trading yesterday, dropping 0.8$% as the dollar moved higher against most of the majors. The latest data is expected to show a 0.6% decrease in the Retail Sales number after last month&#8217;s surprise spike to 2.9% and a print on expectation or lower could see yesterday&#8217;s move extended further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cable is sitting just above the 200-day moving average which comes in at 1.2920 at the moment and a weaker number should see it break through this level and push further south whilst another topside surprise could see the pair take off again and push back through the 1.3000 level again to challenge recent highs around 1.3044.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resistance 2<\/strong> : 1.3150 \u2013 2023 High<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resistance 1<\/strong> : 1.3044 \u2013 Monthly High and Trendline Resistance<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Support 1<\/strong> : 1.2920 \u2013 200-Day Moving Average<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Support 2<\/strong> : 1.2695 \u2013 Trendline Support<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cable-Hourly-5.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"580\" src=\"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cable-Hourly-5-1024x580.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71021\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cable-Hourly-5-1024x580.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cable-Hourly-5-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cable-Hourly-5-768x435.png 768w, https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cable-Hourly-5.png 1052w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sterling traders are preparing for more volatility early in the London [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":71023,"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\/71020"}],"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\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71020"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71020\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":71024,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71020\/revisions\/71024"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71020"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71020"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71020"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
