I hope your weekend was a productive one, even if it was just time away from your charts. We all need to recharge the batteries from time to time and the fact that markets aren’t open on the weekend can sometimes be a bit of a blessing in disguise for the trading addict within us.
But it’s back into the full swing of things again today, as focus turns back to the majors with a look at GBP/USD. If you’ve been following the blog, you’ll have levels drawn showing price stuck within a 1500 pip GBP/USD range that formed after the Brexit low was broken and retested as resistance.

As you can see on the daily chart above, it’s just a simple previous high that price has come back up to. There’s nothing more to this level and there’s nothing special about it while in the middle of that overall range.
