08:10 GMT - Still little change, as deteriorating intraday studies keep near-term sentiment cautious and extend consolidation beneath the 1.2988 fresh year high of 12 March. Overbought daily stochastics have ticked higher, suggesting potential for a test of 1.3000. But the positive daily Tension Indicator is showing signs of flattening, suggesting any immediate tests above here could meet profit-taking towards 1.3050. In the coming sessions, risk is for a corrective pullback. Support is at 1.2900 and extends to the 1.2860 recent lows. A close beneath here would turn sentiment negative and open up a test of congestion around 1.2800.
