To open long positions on GBP/USD, you need:
Buyers showed themselves in the support area of 1.2614, which I drew attention to in my morning review, and now their goal is to return to the resistance level of 1.2680, on which a further upward correction will depend, the goal of which will be the highs of 1.2747 and 1.2808. In the scenario of a re-decline in the minimum area of 1.2614, it is best to open long positions from there, provided that a false breakdown is formed or to rebound from the minimum of 1.2564.
To open short positions on GBP/USD, you need:
Bears continue to push the pound down after the recent statements by Theresa May. The formation of a false breakdown in the resistance area of 1.2680 will lead to a new wave of short positions in the pound and a decrease in the pair to the minimum area of 1.2614, the breakthrough of which will provide sellers with a way to the support area of 1.2564, where I recommend fixing the profits. With a growth scenario above 1.2680, it is best to return to short positions on a rebound from 1.2747.
