In the event of a further fall of the pound under the level of 1.3031 on weak economic data, it is best to open long positions to rebound from a minimum of 1.2966.
To open short positions on the GBP / USD pair, you need:
Breakout and consolidation below the support level of 1.3031, together with weak data on the UK economy, will be a direct signal to open short positions in the pound in order to reduce and update the minimum near 1.2966, where taking profits are recommended. In the case of a pound growth on the data, it is best to return to short positions on a rebound from a large resistance of 1.3099, where the 50-day moving average limiting upward potential also passes.
