09:10 BST - Little change, as prices extend cautious trade above support at 0.8050. Immediate focus is on congestion resistance at 0.8100. But overbought intraday studies are expected to limit any initial tests in consolidation, before improving daily readings and rising weekly charts prompt a break. A close above 0.8100 will improve sentiment and open up critical resistance at 0.8170. However, already overbought weekly stochastics are expected to limit any initial tests in consolidation. Meanwhile, support remains down to 0.8000. A close beneath here, if seen, will add weight to sentiment and extend August losses towards critical support at the 0.7872 current year low of 1 July and congestion around 0.7900.
