11:45 BST - Little change, as mixed intraday studies keep near-term sentiment cautious and extend consolidation above congestion support at 18.7250. Daily readings continue to point lower, highlighting potential for a test beneath here. But already oversold daily stochastics and rising weekly charts are expected to limit any break in renewed buying interest/consolidation towards 18.5000. Meanwhile, a close above congestion resistance at 19.0000, if seen, would help to stabilise price action and prompt consolidation beneath the 19.2500 break level.
