Cable has posted a series of lower monthly highs this year
GBP/USD traded a similar series between June-Dec 2021
Full extent of that decline is 1.4250-1.2973, 1.3749 high in 2022
Recent rebounds reflect the importance of 1.3000 for hedging
Effectively support is holding with GBP afforded support as BOE hikes
Pressure from faster and larger extent of U.S hikes should cap cable
Ranges within monthly Ichimoku cloud may develop (1.2680-1.3326)
Later this year a drop for cloud base may allow for ranges to fall too
Monthly cloud 1.2455-1.2895 in Dec when rate gap may be 1% fav USD
There is big scope for GBP to rise vs EUR nL2N2WC0JJ
