11:50 BST - Anticipated gains have reached congestion resistance at 17.8000, where overbought intraday studies are prompting short-term reactions. Oversold daily stochastics are unwinding and the bearish daily Tension Indicator is flattening, suggesting room for a break towards 17.8500. However, negative weekly charts are expected to limit any further strength in renewed selling interest beneath congestion around 18.0000. Following corrective trade, fresh losses are looked for. A later close below congestion support at 17.5000 will add weight to sentiment and extend April losses towards the 17.2500 monthly low of 7 November. Already oversold daily stochastics could prompt fresh consolidation/short-covering towards here.
