To open long positions on GBPUSD, you need:

In the first half of the day, buyers of the pound made a break through the resistance of 1.2949, and now they are fixed on it. If you look at the 5-minute chart, you will see that it was not possible to wait for a signal to enter the market from this support, since testing 1.2949 from top to bottom on the volume did not happen. As soon as this scenario is played out and the area of 1.2949 stands, you can open long positions in the expectation of continuing the upward trend to the maximum area of 1.3025, and then on the test of a new resistance of 1.3075, where I recommend fixing the profits. However, it is unlikely that a test of these levels will occur today without significant changes in the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve. If the pair returns to the level of 1.2949 and there is no bull activity at this level in the second half of the day, it is best to wait for the decline of GBP/USD to the support of 1.2893, where the lower border of the Bollinger indicator passes or open long positions immediately for a rebound from the minimum of 1.2839 in the calculation of a correction of 30-40 points within the day.

To open short positions on GBPUSD, you need:

Bears will expect the pound to return to the level of 1.2949, which they missed today in the first half of the day, even if a divergence is formed on the MACD indicator. However, it is worth noting that there was no rapid growth after the breakout of this range, which may indicate the absence of major players above the area of 1.2949. The bears' task for the second half will be to return GBP/USD to this range, which will increase pressure on the pound and lead to a decrease in the support area of 1.2893. However, only a consolidation below this level will indicate the beginning of a larger downward correction of the pound already in the area of lows 1.2839 and 1.2786, where I recommend fixing the profits. In the scenario of further growth of the pair, it is best not to rush to sell, and wait for the update of the maximum of 1.3025 or sell the pound immediately on the rebound from the larger resistance of 1.3075 in the calculation of a correction of 30-40 points within the day.
