16:50 BST - Cautious trade has given way to another fresh year high, with the break above 1.4200 currently balanced beneath 1.4250~. Focus is on strong resistance at the 1.4290 Fibonacci retracement. But flat overbought daily stochastics are expected to limit any initial tests in consolidation, before rising weekly charts prompt a break and extend January gains towards historic congestion around 1.4350. Meanwhile, a close back below 1.4200 would turn sentiment neutral and prompt consolidation above the 1.4140 monthly high of 5 November.
