To open long positions for GBP/USD, it is required:
It is best to rely on long positions after the formation of a false breakdown in the support area of 1.2970, which may occur after the speech of the Bank of England Governor Mark Carney. In the event of a further decrease in the pound, it is best to return to long positions from a low of 1.2921 or to a rebound from a new support of 1.2872.
To open short positions for GBP/USD, it is required:
Bears will try to seize the moment and break through the support level of 1.2970 at Mark Carney's speech, which will lead to a new wave of sales for the GBP/USD with a low of 1.2921 and 1.2872, where I recommend taking profits. In case the pound increases in the afternoon, short positions can be returned to a rebound from the resistance of 1.3075.
