01:00 GMT - Rally to break the 157.00 level further extend the February gains to reach strong resistance at the 157.65/157.90 area. Overbought intraday and daily studies suggest this area expected to limit further gains in consolidation though a later break cannot be ruled out. Clearance will return focus to the 159.23 and 159.45, January highs. Meanwhile, support is raised to the 157.00/156.00 congestion area which should underpin. Would take break here to to fade the upside pressure and open up room for pullback to retrace gains from 152.27/10, February/January lows.
