To open long positions on the GBP / USD pair, you need:
There is no news on Brexit but the UK GDP data is expected today, which could push the pound lower. While trading is above the support of 1.2753, buyers of the British pound still have a chance to continue the upward trend but this requires breakdown and consolidation above the resistance of 1.2798, which will open the way to new monthly highs around 1.2868 and 1.2929, where I recommend taking profits. All of this movement will be formed only with a good report on the growth of the UK economy. In the case of a decline below the support level of 1.2753, it is best to consider long positions to rebound from the lows of 1.2708 and 1.2658.
To open short positions on the GBP / USD pair, you need:
Only an unsuccessful consolidation above the resistance of 1.2798 will lead to a return, which may coincide with a weak report on GDP, and a breakdown of support at 1.2753, which will collapse GBP / USD to minimums around 1.2708 and 1.2658, where I recommend taking profits. Positive news on GDP or Brexit from the UK Parliament could lead to a sharp increase in the pound. In this scenario, short positions can be opened after the highs of 1.2868 and 1.2929 are updated.
