14:10 GMT - Cautious trade beneath resistance at 158.00 is giving way to a pullback, as intraday studies turn down, with the break below 157.50 giving way to consolidation above 157.00. Intraday studies are under pressure and overbought daily stochastics are unwinding, highlighting room for a test beneath here. But the positive daily Tension Indicator and mixed/positive weekly charts should prompt renewed buying interest above congestion support at 156.00. Following cautious/corrective trade, fresh gains are looked for. A close above 158.00 will improve sentiment and extend late-January gains towards congestion around 159.00.
