To open long positions on GBP/USD you need:
Euro buyers may have a lot of problems if support for 1.2666 is broken. The main task for the first half of the day will be the formation of a false breakdown in this range, which will allow us to expect a re-growth by the middle of the side channel of 1.2704, as well as an update of the upper limit in the 1.2742 area, where I recommend taking profits. In case of a breakthrough scenario of 1.2666, it is best to buy the pound from a low of 1.2643 or from a larger support of 1.2617.
To open short positions on GBP/USD you need:
Pound sellers need to break below the support of 1.2666, which will keep the pressure on the pair and will lead to updating a larger area of 1.264, where I recommend taking profits in the first half of the day. The main weekly goal of sellers will be the 1.2617 area. Under the GBP/USD growth scenario in the first half of the day, it is best to rely on short positions on a false breakdown from a resistance of 1.2704 or on a rebound from a weekly high in the area of 1.2742.
