FxWirePro: GBP/USD changes short term trend from neutral to bearish

  • GBP/USD declined in the US session as investors awaited further developments in Britain's suspended election campaign after a suicide bombing rocked the English city of Manchester.
     
  • Britain's main political parties agreed to suspend campaigning ahead of the June 8 election until further notice following Monday night's explosion in Manchester that killed 22 people at a concert.
     
  • The pound traded lower for most of the day, last down 0.1 percent at $1.2972, below its highest level since Sept. 29 hit last week.
     
  • Further upside for this pair is expected to be limited as strong resistance level at 1.3058 is set to limit upside and bring decline towards lower levels.
     
  • To the upside, immediate resistance can be seen at 1.2998, a break above this level would expose the cable to next resistance level at 1.3058 levels.
     
  • To the downside strong support can be seen at 1.2936, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.2912.
