To open long positions for GBP / USD, you need:
The British pound collapsed on Friday after British Prime Minister Theresa May stated that the government had come to a standstill in the negotiations on Brexit. At the moment, consider the long positions in the pound best after dropping to a large level of support 1.3027 or immediately to a rebound from 1.2981. The main task of buyers for the first half of the day will be growth and consolidation above the resistance of 1.3092, which will allow to count on a test of the maximum of 1.3149, where I recommend fixing the profits.
To open short positions for GBP / USD, you need:
While the trade is below 1.3092, the pressure on the pound will be maintained, and the formation of a false breakdown and the failure to secure this range in the first half of the day will signal the opening of new short positions to the pound in order to reduce support to 1.3027 and 1.2981, where I recommend fixing the profits. In the case of growth above 1.3092, you can sell the pound immediately to a rebound from the high of 1.3149.
