12:30 BST - The pullback from the 18.3575~ weekly high of 1 August has reached congestion support at 18.0000, where flat oversold intraday studies are prompting consolidation. Dailty readings are also turning down, highlighting room for a test beneath here. But rising weekly charts should limit any break in renewed buying interest/consolidation above further congestion around 17.8000. Meanwhile, resistance is at the 18.1525 monthly high of 19 June. A close back above here would help to improve sentiment. But a further close above the 18.4100 Fibonacci retracement would confirm continuation of July gains, initially to 18.5000, ahead of the 18.7000 retracement.
