09:35 BST - Steady intraday gains have reached resistance at the 0.7200 Fibonacci retracement, where flat overbought intraday studies are prompting consolidation. Just higher is the 0.7220~ current year high of 17 April. But mixed daily and weekly charts should limit any initial tests of here in renewed consolidation. A close above here, however, would turn sentiment positive once again and extend April 2025 gains towards the 0.7280~ high of June 2022. Meanwhile, support remains down to congestion around 0.7100, and should underpin any immediate setbacks.
