09:30 GMT - Prices have posted a fresh 2026 year high around 0.7145, before settling lower into consolidation above 0.7100. Intraday studies are under pressure and rising daily stochastics are flattening, suggesting potential for a test beneath here. But the positive daily Tension Indicator and positive weekly charts should limit scope in renewed buying interest above the 0.7065 lows from 10-11 February. A close beneath here, if seen, will add weight to sentiment and prompt a deeper correction towards congestion around 0.7000. Following cautious trade, fresh gains are looked for. But a break above the 0.7155~ year high of February 2023 is needed to turn sentiment positive and open up strong resistance at the 0.7200 Fibonacci retracement.
