Good size sovereign buying interest has held it up thus far but decent sellers in the rallies too. Cable had option related support at 1.5500 before finally breaking through but we've seen little follow on since. Talk of more bids lined up at 1.5485. Holding above 1.5500 again currently USDJPY ran into sellers at 93.70 and didn't need much convincing to come lower with EURJPY the driver
