12:25 BST - Little change, as prices extend cautious trade around congestion support at 17.7000. Intraday studies are rising, suggesting room for a test of congestion resistance at 17.8000. But negative daily readings should limit any initial tests in consolidation. In the coming sessions, cautious trade is expected to give way to a fresh test below 17.7000. Focus will then turn to 17.6000. But rising weekly charts should limit any deeper losses in renewed consolidation/buying interest above 17.5000. Meanwhile, a close above 17.8000 would help to stabilise price action and prompt consolidation beneath further congestion around 18.0000.
