To open long positions on GBP / USD, you need:
Pound buyers failed to break above yesterday's highs, which led to the expected downward correction. At the moment, a return and consolidation above the resistance of 1.2868 is required, which may return new buyers to the market, however, most likely, the demand before the Brexit vote is unlikely to be serious. When scenarios further movement of the pound down, you can see the purchase from the level of 1.2792 or rebound from 1.2712. All forecasts are valid only until the publication of the Brexit solution.
To open short positions on GBP / USD, you need:
An unsuccessful consolidation above the resistance level of 1.2868 will be the first signal for opening short positions in a pound, but the main task will be the breakdown and consolidation under the support of 1.2792, which will collapse GBP / USD to the minimum near 1.2712 and 1.2658, where I recommend fixing the profits. In the case of a pound rising above 1.2868, before the publication of the Brexit vote results, short positions can be opened to rebound from resistance 1.2929.
Volatility and movement on the pound can be very strong and do not forget about the gaps that can be formed, so it's not a fact that your stop orders that you will place will be executed at the prices you need.
