To open long positions on the GBP / USD pair, you need:
Pound buyers cannot find a good level of support from which an upward correction could be built. At the moment, the task of the bulls is to breakdown and consolidate above the resistance of 1.2900, which will lead to an increase in the pound to the area of resistance at 1.2929, where I recommend taking profits. In case the price further reduces, it is best to consider a long position after the formation of a false breakdown in the region of 1.2867 or rebound from a larger minimum of 1.2812.
To open short positions on the GBP / USD pair, you need:
Bears will try to prevent the growth of the pound above the resistance of 1.2899 and the formation of a false breakdown after correction in the second half of the day, which will lead to another reduction of the GBP/USD pair to the low of 1.2867. The main task of the pound sellers is to fix below this range with the update of the level of 1.2812, where I recommend fixing the profit. In case that the growth is above the resistance of 1.2899, you can sell the pound on a rebound from the maximum of 1.2929.
