To open long positions on GBP/USD, you need:
In my morning forecast, I paid attention to purchases in the support area of 1.3672. Let's look at the 5-minute chart and talk about what happened. It is visible how the bears unsuccessfully try to break below 1.3672 several times, but each time the buyers return the pair to this range, forming a good signal to open long positions. After that, there is an increase in the resistance area of 1.3696. The focus of the bulls will be shifted to this level in the second half of the day since the technical picture has not changed much. It will be possible to stop the downward trend only if the GBP/USD is fixed above the resistance of 1.3696, which was formed following today's European session. A breakout and a test of this level from top to bottom will form a good entry point into long positions with the aim of returning to the level of 1.3722, just above which the moving averages that play on the sellers' side pass. A more distant goal will be a maximum of 1.3748, where I recommend fixing the profits. In the event of a decline in the pound in the second half of the day, an acceptable strategy for buying it will be forming a false breakdown in the area of a new low of 1.3664. If the pressure on GBP/USD continues during the US session, and the bulls do not show anything around this support of 1.3664 – the optimal scenario will be long positions from the level of 1.3633. But you can also buy a pound there only after the formation of a false breakdown. I advise you to open long positions in GBP/USD immediately for a rebound in the area of 1.3603 with the aim of an upward correction of 15-20 points within the day.
To open short positions on GBP/USD, you need:
The initial task of the bears remains to protect the resistance of 1.3696, which is now focused on the buyers of the pound. The absence of important fundamental statistics on the US will be in the hands of sellers, so the formation of a false breakdown at the level of 1.3696 will again weaken the position of the British pound and push the pair to the intermediate support 1.3664. A breakout and a test of this area from the bottom up will form an additional entry point into short positions, which will bring GBP/USD even lower to 1.3633, and it will be close to the minimum of 1.3603, where I recommend fixing the profits. In the absence of active sellers around 1.3696 and poor data on the housing index in the US, I advise you to postpone sales until a new resistance of 1.3722. I also recommend opening short positions from there only if a false breakdown is formed. You can sell GBP/USD immediately on a rebound from a new high in the area of 1.3748, counting on a downward correction of 25-30 points within the day.
