11:35 BST - Little change, as mixed intraday studies keep near-term sentiment cautious, extending pressure on congestion support at 18.5000. Daily readings have turned lower once again and broader weekly charts are under pressure, highlighting room for a later break to critical support at the 18.4100 Fibonacci retracement. Oversold daily stochastics could limit any initial tests in further range trade, before a break adds weight to sentiment and extends February losses to 18.2500. Meanwhile, resistance remains at congestion around 18.7500. A close above here, if seen, will turn sentiment neutral and prompt fresh consolidation beneath 19.0000.
