Both smacked through their respective big figures.

Cable hits stops through 1.6900 to 1.6881 and the euro dived form 1.3810 to 1.3792 but no stops hit though 1.38 just yet.

There’s a band of support around 1.3780/90 and then the late April low at 1.3769 which bounced off the broken 2008 resistance line.
