To open long positions on GBP/USD you need:
Today, the British pound could continue to grow, as tomorrow the British prime minister should present a plan for the future prospects of UK membership in the EU customs union. In case of a downward correction in the first half of the day, support at 1.3096 will be a good level for buying, and it is possible to open long positions immediately to rebound in the region of a low of 1.3060. In the event of further growth, the task of the bulls will be concentrated on breaking through and consolidating above the resistance of 1.3155, which will lead to a further upward trend with an update of highs of 1.3195 and 1.3227, where I recommend taking profits.
To open short positions on GBP/USD you need:
Today, bears will focus on the formation of a false breakdown in the resistance area of 1.3155, from which it will be possible to build the lower boundary of the new downward channel. However, the main task of sellers will be a breakthrough and a return below the support level of 1.3096, which will push the GBP/USD pair to the area of lows of 1.3060 and 1.3018, where I recommend taking profits. With a growth scenario above 1.3155, you can sell for a rebound from a high of 1.3195 and 1.3227.
