13:45 BST - The anticipated test below congestion support at 145.00 is giving way to a sharp bounce in both USD- and JPY-driven trade, with prices approaching resistance at 146.00. Rising intraday studies highlight room for a test above here. But negative daily readings are expected to limit initial scope in fresh consolidation beneath 148.00, before rising weekly charts prompt a break. Meanwhile, any fresh tests below 145.00 should meet fresh buying interest towards further congestion around 144.00.
