08:10 BST - The minor test lower has reached congestion support at 1.3400, where unwinding oversold intraday studies have prompted a bounce back to 1.3450~. Daily readings continue to rise, suggesting room for a test higher. But already overbought daily stochastics are expected to limit initial scope in fresh consolidation beneath congestion around 1.3500. Broader weekly charts are also mixed, suggesting further cautious trade/consolidation into the coming sessions. However, a break above 1.3500 would turn sentiment cautiously positive and open up 1.3590/00. Meanwhile, a close below 1.3400 would turn sentiment cautiously negative and put focus on congestion around 1.3300.
