Since there are no economic reports scheduled for release today, the attention of traders will be shifted on the next round of negotiations between the UK and the EU over the long-disputed post-Brexit trade deal.

- Open a long position when the quote reaches the level of 1.3021 (green line on the chart), and then take profit around the level of 1.3090 (thicker green line on the chart).
- Open a short position when the quote reaches the level of 1.2986 (red line on the chart), and then take profit at least at the level of 1.2922. Bad news on Brexit will continue the downward trend in the GBP/USD pair.
