08:50 GMT - Little change, as prices extend cautious trade above congestion support at 156.00. Intraday studies are turning down, however, and daily readings are under pressure, suggesting room for a test lower in the coming sessions. A break beneath here will open up 155.00. Broader weekly charts are also under pressure, but a close below the 154.34 weekly 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 and should cap any immediate tests higher.
