GBP/USD: plan for the European session on December 11. Brexit voting postponed, leading to even greater uncertainty
December 11, 2018 7:25 am
To open long positions on GBP/USD is required:
The pound collapsed after May announced the postponement of the Brexit vote and did not name the exact date. I don’t recommend rushing with the purchases of GBP/USD. Long positions can be seen after the formation of a false breakout in the area of 1.2537 or a rebound from the low of the week of 1.2505. The main task of the bulls will be to return and consolidate at the resistance level of 1.2614, which will update the highs of 1.2654, where I recommend to lock in the profit.
To open short positions on GBP/USD is required:
A return to the support level of 1.2569 will be a direct signal to sell the pound in order to return to the area of 1.2537 and 1.2505, where I recommend taking profit. In the event of a continuation of the upward correction, which may be formed after the release of good data on the UK labor market, it is best to consider new short positions after the test of the high of 1.2614 or on a rebound from the resistance of 1.2654.
