08:10 BST - Cautious trade has given way to a sharp break higher, with prices reaching 1.3385~ before settling back to 1.3445. Oversold daily stochastics are turning higher, suggesting room for a test of congestion resistance at 1.3400. But the negative daily Tension Indicator and mixed/negative weekly charts should limit any further gains in renewed selling interest towards congestion around 1.3450. Meanwhile, support is raised to congestion around 1.3300. But a close below the 1.3275~ low of 28 July would add weight to sentiment and extend mid-July losses initially towards 1.3250.
