More sideways range trade in the near term

“Cable is holding in about the middle of the past week’s range between support at 1.2090/00 and resistance at 1.2240/50.”

“Trend signals are mixed and weak across the shorter-term studies, suggesting more sideways range trade in the near term.”

“Broader trends suggest some modest downside risk as spot corrects the sharp rise from the Sep low but sub-1.20 dips are likely to remain well supported.”
