To open long positions on GBP/USD, you need:
Today's news that British Prime Minister Theresa May will resign on June 7, passed for the market without a trace, as it was quite expected. Buyers of the pound in the second half of the day need to stay above the support of 1.2662, and the formation of a false breakdown there will be a signal to open long positions based on updating the morning high of 1.2723 and its breakthrough, which will open a direct road to the resistance area of 1.2789, where I recommend fixing the profits. When returning to the support of 1.2662, it is best to open long positions to rebound from a low of 1.2607.
To open short positions on GBP/USD, you need:
Bears are expected to return in the resistance area of 1.2723, after a report on retail sales in the UK, which did not please traders. The main task for the second half of the day will be a decrease and a breakthrough of the support of 1.2662, which will lead to a new, larger will of sales of GBP/USD with the update of the lows in the area of 1.2607 and 1.2564, where I recommend fixing the profit.
