08:25 BST - Cautious trade has given way to a drift down to 1.1625~, where unwinding oversold intraday studies are prompting short-term reactions. Overbought daily stochastics are unwinding and the daily Tension Indicator is coming under pressure, highlighting a deterioration in sentiment and room for further losses in the coming sessions. A break below congestion support at 1.1600 will add weight to sentiment and open up the 1.1528 low of 5 August and further congestion around 1.1500. However, oversold weekly stochastics are expected to limit any initial tests of this range in fresh consolidation. Meanwhile, resistance remains at congestion around 1.1700. A close above here, if seen, will open up 1.1750, where fresh selling interest is expected to appear.
