Yesterday, the GBP/USD currency pair showed impressive growth, after Michel Barnier, the main negotiator for Brexit from the EU, announced the forthcoming special offer for London. But according to the European Union, he did not mentioned the proposal's essence and how it will be resolved all disagreements with Britain. However, the markets reacted with strong purchases of the British pound. We believe that this market reaction is short-term and impulsive. So far, even the essence of the proposal is unclear. It is likely that Theresa May will not agree with this proposal, but almost nobody doubts that the negotiations will drag on beyond October. Thus, the pound sterling will remain under market pressure, and even Trump's desire to weaken the dollar may not prevent further strengthening of the pound/dollar, while with other currencies paired with the dollar may decline. The data on personal income adjustments and expenditure of the population in the United States will be publish today. Possibly, this data can affect the traders' mood but the most important agenda for today is about global topics, so these reports are unlikely have a significant effect to the trading course. From a technical point of view, a correction is brewing, as there was a very strong growth yesterday, and the last bar is painted in blue today.

Trading recommendations:
The GBP/USD pair may start to adjust. Correction can be worked out (if a second blue bar is formed in a row), since the descending sentiment of the pair remains. The target for short positions is the moving average line in small lots.
Buy-positions are recommended to resume in case of a reversal of the Heiken Ashi indicator above or overcoming the 1.3062 level. The next target for the bulls will be the Murray level of 1.3184.
In addition to the technical picture, one should also take into account the fundamental data and the time of their release.
