14:55 BST - Cautious trade has given way to a test below congestion support at 177.00, with prices reaching 176.50 before bouncing back above 177.00. Daily readings continue to rise, highlighting room for a move towards congestion resistance at 178.00. But negative weekly charts should limit any immediate tests in fresh consolidation.
Following cautious/corrective trade, fresh losses are looked for. A later break back below 177.00 will add weight to sentiment and open up the 176.20~ current year low of 5 October and congestion around 176.00. A further break will turn sentiment negative and confirm continuation of broad April losses below the 175.70 monthly low of 5 November 2025.
