12:20 BST - Little change, as prices extend cautious trade within the 80.0000 - 81.0000 range. Daily stochastics are turning lower and the daily Tension Indicator is also under pressure, suggesting room for a re-test lower. A break below congestion support at 80.0000 will open up the 79.1450 range low of 7 August. But mixed weekly and longer-term charts are expected to limit any initial tests in consolidation. A close beneath here, however, would turn sentiment negative and extend late-July losses towards congestion around 78.0000. Meanwhile, a close above resistance at 81.0000 would improve sentiment and open up the 82.6100 monthly high of 29 July, where mixed weekly charts could prompt fresh consolidation/profit-taking.
