09:10 BST - Still little change, as prices extend cautious trade around congestion support at 0.8000. Daily readings are falling and overbought weekly stochastics are also unwinding, suggesting a deterioration in sentiment and room for further losses. A break beneath here will add weight to sentiment and extend August losses towards congestion around 0.7900. Critical support is at the 0.7850 Fibonacci retracement and the 0.7872 current year low of 1 July. However, already oversold daily stochastics could limit any initial tests of this range in short-covering/consolidation. Meanwhile resistance remains at 0.8050 and extends to congestion around 0.8100. This range should cap any immediate tests higher.
