16:40 BST - Choppy trade around 1.4200 has given way to a pullback to the 1.4140 monthly high of 5 November, where rising intraday studies are prompting a bounce back to 1.4200. A test above here is possible. But bearish daily readings and flattening overbought weekly stochastics should limit scope in renewed selling interest/consolidation beneath critical resistance at the 1.4248 current year high of 24 June. In the coming sessions, a test below 1.4140 is looked for. But the positive weekly Tension Indicator and rising longer-term charts should limit scope in renewed buying interest above 1.4000. A close beneath here, however, would turn sentiment negative and confirm a deeper retracement from 1.4248.
