08:25 BST - Still little change, as prices extend cautious trade above congestion support at 1.1600. Intraday studies continue to lean lower, suggesting room for a retest of 1.1600. But oversold daily stochastics could limit any initial tests in fresh consolidation, before the bearish daily Tension Indicator and mixed/negative weekly charts prompt further losses. A later break below 1.1600 will add weight to sentiment. But a further close below the 1.1565 Fibonacci retracement is needed to turn sentiment negative and extend late-August losses towards congestion around 1.1550. Already oversold daily stochastics could limit any initial tests in fresh consolidation.
Meanwhile, resistance remains up to 1.1650 and should cap any immediate tests higher.
