14:15 BST - The anticipated test of resistance at 148.00 has not been seen, as mixed/negative intraday studies keep near-term sentiment cautious and extend consolidation beneath here. Daily readings are turning down and overbought weekly stochastics are also under pressure, highlighting room for a test of congestion support at 147.00. But the rising weekly Tension Indicator and improving longer-term charts should limit any break in renewed buying interest/consolidation above 146.00. A break, however, will add weight to sentiment and confirm a deeper pullback from the 150.90~ weekly high of 1 August. Meanwhile, a close above 148.00 will improve sentiment and give way to consolidation beneath congestion around 150.00.
