The currency pair GBP / USD on the first trading day of the week could not show a more or less tangible correction. The minimum share of traders recorded part of the short positions, which led to the weakest upward correction. After that, the downward movement resumed and the pair overcame Murray's level of 2/8. Thus, from a technical point of view, the downward movement is likely to continue today. Important macroeconomic information is not expected from the UK today, but new data from the Parliament or on the subject of Brexit may unexpectedly come in. It is impossible to predict the performance of this or that politician, thus, it will be necessary to respond to possible events of this kind promptly. If no new information is received, then traders will rely when making trading decisions solely on technology. A technical picture remains unambiguous. A downward trend and the indicator Heikin Ashi, signaling a local downward movement. No interesting information is expected from America today either, so the fundamental influence on the pair's movement will be absent today.
Nearest support levels:
S1 - 1,2756
S2 - 1.2695
S3 - 1.2634
Nearest resistance levels:
R1 - 1.2817
R2 - 1.2878
R3 - 1.2939
Trading recommendations:
The currency pair GBP / USD continues its downward movement. Thus, short positions with a view to 1.2756 are relevant now. A reversal of the indicator Heikin Ashi up will serve as a signal to reduce the short positions, as it will mark the beginning of an upward correction.
Long positions will become relevant after overcoming the moving average by traders, which is not expected in the near future. Nevertheless, in this case, the trend in the instrument will change to ascending, and the first goal will be 1.2939.
In addition to the technical picture should also take into account the fundamental data and the time of their release.
