14:15 BST - The test of congestion resistance at 144.00 is giving way to a minor pullback, as overbought intraday studies unwind, with prices currently trading around 143.65. A further drift lower towards 143.00 is highlighted. But rising daily readings should limit any break in renewed buying interest above congestion around 142.00. Following cautious trade, a fresh test above 144.00 is looked for. But mixed/negative weekly charts should prompt selling pressure towards 145.00.
