To open long positions on GBP/USD you need:
While trading is above support at 1.2753, buyers of the British pound still have a chance to continue the upward trend, but this requires breaking and fixing above the resistance at 1.2798, which will open the way to new monthly highs around 1.2868 and 1.2929, where I recommend taking profits. In the event 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 GBP/USD you need:
The emerging divergence on the MACD indicator indicates the likelihood of the beginning of a downward correction in the pound, which already suggests itself for quite some time. An unsuccessful consolidation above 1.2798, or a breakthrough of support at 1.2753 will lead to a larger sale of GBP/USD with a test of lows around 1.2708 and 1.2658, where I recommend taking profits. Positive news on 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.
