22.02.201909:30 Forex-elemzések és áttekintések: GBP/USD: plan for the European session on February 22. It is very important for buyers to maintain the support level of 1.3020

To open long positions on GBP/USD you need:

It is best to return to buying the pound with a correction from larger support levels around 1.2984 and 1.2916. However, in the first half of the day you can also count on the formation of a false breakdown in the area of 1.3023. Only in this case would we be able to expect a re-wave of growth in the GBP/USD with a consolidation above the resistance of 1.3058, which will strengthen the upward impulse and return the pair to the highs of 1.3094 and 1.3152, where I recommend taking profits.

To open short positions on GBP/USD you need:

Sellers need to consolidate below the support level of 1.3023 or form a false breakdown in the area of resistance at 1.3058, which will raise the pressure on the pair and lead to a larger wave of selling, with a low of 1.2984 and 1.2942, where I recommend to take profits. However, the main task of sellers at the end of the week will be to update support at 1.2903. In the event of further growth in the trend, you can open short positions from a high of 1.3094 or to a rebound from 1.3152.
