09:05 BST - Little change, as prices extend cautious trade within the 99.50 - 100.00 range. Intraday studies are rising and bearish daily readings are flattening, suggesting room for a drift higher and test of congestion resistance at 100.00. But negative weekly charts should limit any break in renewed selling interest/consolidation beneath the 100.35 weekly low of 15 July. Following cautious/corrective trade, fresh losses are looked for. A later break below congestion support at 99.50 will add weight to sentiment and extend late-June losses towards the 99.20 Fibonacci retracement. A further close beneath here will open up the 98.60 retracement.
