13:45 GMT - Little change, as prices extend cautious/choppy trade around 156.40. Daily readings are under pressure, highlighting room for a break below congestion support at 156.00. Focus will then turn to 155.00. Broader weekly charts are also falling, but a further close below the 154.34 monthly low of 5 December is needed to turn sentiment negative and confirm continuation of late-November losses. Meanwhile, resistance remains at congestion around 157.00. A break above here, if seen, should be limited in renewed selling interest/consolidation beneath strong resistance at 157.90/00.
