09:20 BST - Little change, as mixed intraday studies keep near-term sentiment cautious and extend choppy trade just beneath congestion resistance at 0.8100. Negative daily stochastics are flattening, suggesting potential for a test above here. But the flattening daily Tension Indicator is expected to limit initial scope in renewed selling interest beneath the 0.8170 Fibonacci retracement. Broader weekly charts are rising. But a close above here is needed to turn sentiment positive and confirm continuation of July gains. Meanwhile, support is at congestion around 0.8000. A break beneath here, if seen, will open up further congestion around 0.7900, where rising weekly charts should prompt fresh buying interest.
