16:10 GMT - Anticipated gains have extended June 2021 gains to post a fresh year high at the 1.4265 weekly high of late-April 2020. Intraday studies are turning down, unwinding overbought areas, suggesting potential for short-term reactions. But daily readings continue to rise and broader weekly charts are also positive, highlighting potential for a later break and continuation towards the 1.4298 high of April 2020. Continuation beyond here would open up next significant reactions at 1.4500. Meanwhile, a close below support at 1.4200, if seen, would turn sentiment neutral and prompt consolidation above 1.4100.
