12:50 BST - Anticipated losses have reached congestion support at 17.5000, where unwinding oversold intraday studies are prompting short-term reactions. Daily stochastics and the daily Tension Indicator continue to track lower, highlighting room for a later break. April losses will then post fresh year lows, as focus turns to the 17.2500 monthly low of 7 November. But rising weekly stochastics could limit any initial tests in consolidation. Meanwhile, resistance is lowered to congestion around 17.6000. A close above here, if seen, will help to stabilise price action and prompt consolidation around further congestion within 17.7000-17.8000.
