01:50 GMT - Consolidation at the 1.3500 level has given way to break above 1.3535 resistance to extend gains from the 1.3440/35 Fibonacci level and 200-day MA. Daily studies have turned positive and suggest room for stronger gains to retrace the 2-week losses from the 1.3700 level. Clearance will see room to resistance at the 1.3600/20 and 1.3650 congestion. Meanwhile, support is raised to the 1.3500 level which should underpin and sustain bounce from the 1.3440/35 support. Only below here will extend the January losses and open up room to the 1.3400 level and the 1.3340, 19 January YTD low.
