To open long positions on GBP/USD, you need:

Like the bears yesterday, they did not try to pick up support at 1.3172. The pair kept returning to this level every time this range was tested, which ultimately led to producing a signal to buy the pound. I marked a long entry point on the 5-minute chart, afterwards the bears could no longer do anything. There is still a strong demand for the British pound today in the Asian session, which indicates a fairly large investor interest in this instrument.

But, before we analyze the technical picture of the pound and run to take long deals, let's see what happened in the futures market last week, which continues to signal the increase in sellers. Lack of clarity on the trade agreement, together with the lockdown of the British economy in November, clearly does not add optimism and confidence to the buyers of the pound. There is also the risk of imposing negative interest rates early next year, especially if the coronavirus situation continues to worsen. This is reflected in the sentiment of market participants. The Commitment of Traders (COT) report for November 3 showed a reduction in long positions and a slight increase in short positions. Long non-commercial positions fell from 31,799 to 27,701. At the same time, short non-commercial positions slightly rose from 38,459 to 38,928. As a result, the negative non-commercial net position was 11,227 against 6,660 a week earlier, which indicates that the sellers of the British pound retain control and also shows their minimal advantage in the current situation.

Buyers of the British pound aim for a breakout and to get the pair to settle above the resistance of 1.3237 in the first half of the day, which was not done yesterday. Only this produces a new entry point into long positions in hopes for GBP/USD to continue rising and reach a high of 1.3310, where I recommend taking profits. The next target will be resistance at 1.3378, but it will require good reasons for its update. One of them could come from Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey's speech today, who may allay fears related to the negative interest rate, which is planned to be introduced early next year. In case the pound falls in the first half of the day, protecting support at 1.3168 will be an equally important task for the bulls. They got it over with yesterday. Today, forming a false breakout in that area will stop the bears. This will provide buyers with confidence and bring GBP/USD back to the resistance area of 1.3237, which is currently being traded around. In case bulls are not active in the 1.3168 area, it is best not to rush and postpone long positions until the test of a new low at 1.3106, where you can buy the pound immediately on a rebound, counting on a correction of 20-30 points within the day.

To open short positions on GBP/USD, you need:

The bears have taken a wait-and-see attitude and the main focus is currently on protecting resistance at 1.3237. Sellers' behavior at this level will determine the pair's succeeding direction. If buyers are not active, forming a false breakout in the 1.3237 area will be the first signal to open short positions in the pound, counting on it to fall to support 1.3168, which is now the middle of the horizontal channel. We can say that the bears have taken control of the market only when they have settled below 1.3168, which will quickly pull down the pound to the lower border of this channel at 1.3106. Only its breakout will indicate the resumption of the bearish trend, which could pull down the pound to new lows of 1.3034 and 1.2976, where I recommend taking profits. In case bears are not active at 1.3237, it is best to postpone short positions until the test of the monthly high of 1.3310, or sell the pound immediately upon a rebound from resistance 1.3378, counting on a correction of 20-30 points within the day.
