13:40 BST - Little change, as prices extend cautious trade within the 16.2520 - 16.4000 range. Daily readings continue to track lower and broader weekly charts are deteriorating, highlighting room for further losses in the coming sessions. However, a close below the 16.1400 monthly low of 17 April is needed to turn sentiment negative and extend late-March losses towards the 16.0170 retracement. Meanwhile, a close above congestion resistance at 16.4000 would help to stabilise price action and give way to consolidation beneath further congestion around 16.6000.
