08:40 BST - Little change, as prices extend consolidation around support at 1.1750. Intraday studies are mixed/negative, suggesting potential for a test below here. But rising daily readings should prompt renewed buying interest/consolidation towards congestion support at 1.1700, before deteriorating weekly charts extend losses still further. A later close beneath here will add weight to sentiment and open up further congestion around 1.1600. However, rising longer-term readings are expected to limit any tests in fresh buying interest. Meanwhile, critical resistance is at congestion around 1.1800 and the 1.1830 current year high of 1 July. This range should cap any immediate tests higher.
