12:05 BST - Cautious trade has given way to a break higher, with prices clearing 1.6100 to post a fresh year high around 1.6135 before settling lower. Unwinding overbought intraday studies highlight potential for a test of congestion support at 1.6100. But daily readings have ticked higher, suggesting room for still further gains in the coming sessions. Critical resistance is at the 1.6150~ multi-year high of March 2018. But negative weekly charts are expected to limit any initial tests in consolidation. A close above here would turn sentiment positive and extend 2022 gains initially to historic congestion around 1.6200. Meanwhile, a close back below 1.6100 will turn sentiment neutral and prompt consolidation above further congestion around 1.6000.
