16:35 BST - Cautious trade above congestion support at 19.5000 is giving way to a test higher, with prices currently consolidating the test of resistance at 19.7500. Daily readings are rising and oversold weekly stochastics are flattening, suggesting room for a test above here towards the 19.8430 monthly low of 14 March. However, the negative weekly Tension Indicator and bearish longer-term charts are expected to limit any extension beyond here in renewed selling interest towards congestion within the 20.0000 - 20.2000 range. Following any corrective trade, fresh losses are looked for. A close below 19.5000 is needed to turn sentiment outright negative and extend February losses towards the 19.3700 Fibonacci retracement.
