To open long positions on GBP/USD you need:
Yesterday, the British Parliament voted against the Brexit scenario without a deal, which led to the pound's growth. A vote on the extension of the exit from the EU will be made today. You need to be very careful with long positions on the pound. Buyers need a breakthrough and consolidation above the level of 1.3286, which will lead to growth in the area of a high of 1.3329, where I recommend taking profits. The main task of the bulls will be the test of resistance of 1.3375, which will increase the chance for a continuation of the uptrend. However, a more optimal buying scenario would be a correction of the pound to the support area of 1.3216 and 1.3155.
To open short positions on GBP/USD you need:
Bears will emerge from the resistance level of 1.3286, or you can open short positions immediately to rebound from a high of 1.3329. Sellers will try to return the pair to the support of 1.3216, at the first test of which a good upward rebound will occur. However, when GBP/USD falls again to this level, you can increase short positions in order to update the low of 1.3155, where I recommend taking profits.
