08:55 BST - Consolidation around 988.50 is giving way to anticipated minor gains, with prices currently trading around 98.75. Rising intraday studies highlight room for a test of congestion resistance at 99.00. But mixed daily readings are expected to limit any initial tests in consolidation, before improving weekly charts prompt a break. Focus will then turn to stronger resistance at the 99.56 weekly high of 9 October. But already overbought weekly stochastics could prompt selling interest towards here. Meanwhile, any immediate tests below congestion support at 98.50 should give way to consolidation above further congestion around 98.00.
