The minor trend has developed the sloping channel previously (refer daily chart).
For now, although cable’s current price sentiments are attempting to build on the rebound from the lows of 1.2373 regions, the bullish sentiments in the minor trend is now hampered on above-stated bearish patterns.
To substantiate this bearish stance, both the momentum and trend indicators are indicating strength and intensified selling momentum as it hits 3-week lows. Both DMA & MACD crossovers indicate downswings to prolong further to approach previous channel resistance.
