11:50 GMT - Anticipated gains have posted a fresh 2026 year high around 16.9560, before settling lower as intraday studies turn down and rising daily stochastics become overbought. A pullback towards support within the 16.5000 - 16.6000 range is highlighted. But the rising daily Tension Indicator and positive weekly charts should limit any initial tests in consolidation. Following cautious/corrective trade, fresh gains are looked for. A break above 16.9560 will open up congestion around 17.0000, with room for extension of late-January gains towards the 17.2750 Fibonacci retracement.
