08:10 BST - Little change, as prices extend cautious trade beneath the 1.3657 monthly high of 1 May. Daily readings have turned positive and broader weekly charts continue to rise, highlighting room for further strength in the coming sessions. A close above here will improve sentiment and extend late-June gains towards strong resistance at 1.3700. However, already overbought daily stochastics could limit any initial tests in profit-taking/consolidation.
Meanwhile, support remains at congestion around 1.3600. A close beneath here, if seen, will turn sentiment neutral and give way to consolidation above the 1.3558 monthly high of 15 July.
