12:05 BST - Cautious trade is giving way to a test higher, as intraday studies improve, with prices currently testing levels just above resistance at 18.1000. Daily readings are positive and broader weekly charts have turned mixed/positive, highlighting a more constructive tone and room for further strength in the coming sessions. A close above here will open up congestion around 18.2500. But already overbought daily stochastics could limit any initial tests in consolidation, before prices continue higher. Meanwhile, a close below congestion around 18.0000 would turn senitment neutral and prompt consolidation above support at 17.8500.
