00:45 GMT - Little change, as prices extend consolidation within the 157.00/158.00 area. Would take break above 158.00 congestion and previous channel support to open up room for stronger bounce to resistance at the 159.00/159.45 congestion and January high. Intraday and daily studies are unwinding oversold readings but corrective bounce is expected to give way to renewed selling pressure later to retest support at the 157.00/156.00 congestion area. Break here will expose the 155.23 low to retest and see room for extension to 154.85 Fibonacci level and 154.00 congestion.
