08:10 GMT - The anticipated break below 1.3400 has given way to a bounce from above support at the 1.3350 congestion lows, as oversold intraday studies unwind. Focus is turning to resistance at 1.3400. But mixed/negative daily readings and unwinding overbought weekly stochastics should limit any break in consolidation beneath further congestion around 1.3450. Following cautious trade, fresh losses are looked for. A break below 1.3350 will open up 1.3300. But the rising weekly Tension Indicator is expected to limit any initial tests in consolidation.
