16:50 GMT - The anticipated test of resistance at congestion around 1.3700 and the 1.3725 weekly high of 6 February is giving way to consolidation, as overbought intraday studies unwind. Daily readings continue to rise, highlighting room for a break above here and extension of February gains towards the 1.3755 Fibonacci retracement. But already overbought daily stochastics and mixed/negative weekly charts should limit any initial tests in profit-taking/consolidation. Meanwhile, a close back below congestion support at 1.3650 will turn sentiment neutral and give way to fresh consolidation above further congestion around 1.3600.
