To open long positions on GBPUSD, you need:
In the first half of the day, I paid attention to the resistance of 1.2611 and recommended that it open long positions at the breakdown and consolidation. If you look at the 5-minute chart, you will see how at first the bulls broke above the resistance of 1.2611, and then after a small downward correction to this range, the buy signal was confirmed from the top down, which allowed them to get to the next resistance of 1.2686. Similarly, I recommended opening short positions from the resistance of 1.2686, which also allowed us to take a couple of dozen points from the market. At the moment, to maintain the bullish momentum, a breakout and consolidation above the resistance of 1.2686 are required, which will open a direct path for buyers of the pound to the highs of 1.2744 and 1.2798, where I recommend fixing the profits. If the pressure on the GBP/USD returns after the report on the US labor market, then you can count on support for 1.2611 only after the formation of a false breakout there. It is best to postpone long positions until the test of the lows of 1.2552 and 1.2500, counting on correction of 30-40 points within the day.
To open short positions on GBPUSD, you need:
Sellers showed themselves from the resistance of 1.2686, where I recommended opening short positions in my morning forecast, and now the pair is locked in the side channel of 1.2611-1.2686. Going beyond this channel will depend on the fundamentals of the US economy. In the case of a breakout of 1.2686, it is best to postpone short positions until the highs of 1.2744 and 1.2798 are updated, counting on correction of 30-40 points within the day. An equally important task for the bears will be to break through and consolidate below the support of 1.2611, which will increase pressure on GBP/USD and push to a minimum of 1.2552, and the longer-term goal will be the range of 1.2500, where I recommend fixing the profits.
