13:05 BST - Anticipated losses have posted a fresh year low around 72.1100. However, daily readings remain under pressure and broader weekly charts are also falling, highlighting room for still further losses in the coming sessions. A break beneath here will add weight to already bearish sentiment and extend November 2024 losses still further towards historic congestion around 70.0000. Meanwhile, resistance is lowered to 73.0000. A close above here, if seen, would help to stabilise sentiment and prompt consolidation beneath 74.7500.
