Last night there was an explosion at the Manchester Arena during a live concert that resulted in many casualties. On behalf of FXleaders.com I´d like to extend solidarity to the families of those who have been affected by the atrocity. We do live in sad times indeed.

The market wasn´t moved though, apart from a few bids in safe haven currencies. GBP was unfazed, which shows that the world is getting used to such news, it´s truly sad. However, let´s take a quick look at the support and resistance levels for GBP/USD.      

GBP/USD

Resistance                                                       Support

1 – 1.30 (mild – big round number)                     1 – 1.2950-60 (strong – 100 SMA on H1 chart)

2 – 1.3020(mild)                                                 2 – 1.2930 (mild – 100 SMA on H4 chart)

3 – 1.3050 (strong – the high this year)               3 – 1.2900 (strong)

4 – 1.3100 (mild)                                               4 – 0.7330-40 (strong – the low during half of May)          

These are the closest support & resistance levels for this forex pair. This is not the best day for UK traders to trade, but if you must, 1.3050 looks like a pretty good place to open a sell forex signal.
