08:10 BST - The pullback from the 1.3593 current year high of 26 May has met anticipated buying interest just above congestion support at 1.3400, as oversold intraday studies unwind, with prices posting a bounce to 1.3460. A test of congestion resistance at 1.3500 cannot be ruled out. But daily stochastics continue to fall and the daily Tension Indicator has also turned down, highlighting a deterioration in sentiment and difficulty sustaining any break above here. In the coming sessions, cautious trade is expected to give way to fresh losses. A later break below 1.3400 will add weight to sentiment and open up 1.3300. Just lower are range lows around 1.3250, where fresh buying interest/consolidation is looked for. Meanwhile, a close above 1.3500 would help to stabilise price action and prompt consolidation beneath critical resistance at 1.3593/00.
