12:35 BST - Consolidation has given way to a retest of resistance within 17.4000 - 17.5000. Daily readings have turned mixed/positive and broader weekly charts are also rising, highlighting room for further strength in the coming sessions. A close above 17.5000 will improve sentiment and extend early-October gains towards further resistance within 17.7000 - 17.8000. However, by-then overbought daily stochastics could limit any initial tests in profit-taking/consolidation. Meanwhile, support remains at congestion around 17.2000, and should underpin any immediate setbacks.
