Wave counting analysis:

In the course of trading on December 18, the GBP / USD pair added about 15 bp more. Thus, wave 5 a, is still considered complete. If this is true, then the increase will continue with targets located near the 100.0% and 76.4% Fibonacci levels, within the framework of the three-wave correction structure (at a minimum). However, an unsuccessful attempt to break through the level of 100.0% also warns of the readiness of the instrument for a new decline. Contribution to the execution of this option may be the Fed meeting and the rate increase or new negative information on Brexit.

Shopping goals:

1.2696 – 100.0% Fibonacci

1.2807 – 76.4% Fibonacci

Sales targets:

1.2564 – 127.2% Fibonacci

1.2398 – 161.8% Fibonacci

General conclusions and trading recommendations:

In conclusion, the pair GBP / USD presumably began to build an upward set of waves while corrective. An unsuccessful attempt to break through 1.2696 may lead to its completion and the construction of a new downward trend. Thus, I recommend buying a tool after a successful attempt to break through the 1.2696 mark with targets located around 1.2807, which corresponds to 76.4% Fibonacci.
