12:25 BST - Still little change, as prices extend cautious trade within the 16.6000 - 16.8000 range. Overbought daily stochastics are unwinding, suggesting room for a retest of congestion support at 16.6000. But the rising daily Tension Indicator and positive weekly charts should limit any break in renewed buying interest/consolidation above further congestion around 16.4000. Following cautious/corrective trade, fresh gains are looked for. However, a close above the 16.9150 weekly high of 30 April is needed to improve sentiment and extend mid-April gains towards congestion around 17.0000. By-then overbought daily stochastics could limit any immediate tests above here in profit-taking/consolidation beneath critical resistance at the 17.2475 current year high of 23 March and the 17.2750 Fibonacci retracement.
