12:20 BST - April losses have reached 17.7800, where rising intraday studies and improving daily readings are prompting a bounce. Focus is turning to congestion resistance at 18.0000 and the 18.1000 break level. But mixed/negative weekly charts are expected to limit any tests of this range in fresh consolidation. A break, if seen, will improve price action and extend (corrective) gains towards 18.2500. Following corrective trade, fresh losses are looked for. A later break below the 17.7800 low of 26 May will add weight to sentiment and extend April losses towards the 17.7150 Fibonacci retracement. A further break will open up 17.6150.
