14:00 GMT - Still little change, as prices extend consolidation beneath congestion resistance at 157.00. Intraday studies have ticked higher and bearish daily stochastics are flattening, suggesting room for a test above here. But the bearish daily Tension Indicator and mixed/negative weekly charts are expected to limit scope in renewed selling interest towards the 158.00 break level. Meanwhile, support remains down to the 155.50~ current year low of 10 February. But a tick higher in oversold weekly stochastics is expected to limit any immediate break in consolidation above the 155.14 monthly low of 16 September. Longer-term studies are mixed/negative, but a close below the 154.39 year low of 5 August is needed to confirm a more significant bear trend.
