To open long positions on GBP/USD you need:
Yesterday’s resignation of the leader of the House of Commons hit the pound positions, but buyers have a chance for a correction. This requires a quick return to the resistance level of 1.2670, from which you can count on the demolition of a number of sellers’ stop orders and a larger increase in GBP/USD in the resistance area of 1.2730 and 1.2789, where I recommend taking profits. In the event of a further decline, according to the trend, it is best to consider purchases under the condition of a false breakdown in the support area of 1.2612 or to rebound from the lows of 1.2564 and 1.2500.
To open short positions on GBP/USD you need:
Breakthrough and consolidation below the support of 1.2612 will lead to a new wave of short positions in GBP/USD with a rise to the lows of 1.2564 and 1.2500, where I recommend taking profits. Under the pound growth scenario in the first half of the day, after the release of retail sales data, selling from a resistance of 1.2670 will be a more optimal scenario, provided there is a false breakdown there, or to rebound from a high of 1.2730. Any positive news on Brexit will lead to a sharp and strong growth of the pound, so do not forget about the placement of stop orders.
