08:10 BST - The anticipated test of congestion support at 1.3500 is giving way to consolidation, with prices currently balanced around 1.3530. Daily readings continue to point lower, highlighting room for a break towards the 1.3470 Fibonacci retracement. But rising weekly charts should limit any deeper reactions in renewed consolidation above 1.3450. Meanwhile, resistance is lowered to congestion around 1.3550. A close back above here would help to stabilise price action and prompt choppy trade beneath further congestion around 1.3600.
