To open long positions on GBP/USD you need:

Theresa May intends to hold another vote early this week on the approval of her Brexit agreement, which could lead to a surge in pound volatility. However, the real demand for the pair can return only on Thursday, when the EU countries will vote to postpone the exit of the UK. While trading is above support at 1.3265, demand for the pound will remain, and the formation of a false breakdown in this area will be a signal to buy in order to update the highs around 1.3325 and 1.3375, where I recommend taking profits. In case the pound returns below the support of 1.3265, it is best to return to long positions from the lower border of the side channel 1.3213 and 1.3177.

To open short positions on GBP/USD you need:

The bears need to return to the support level of 1.3265, which will increase the pressure on the pair and lead to a downward correction to the region of the lower border of the side channel 1.3213 and 1.3177, where I recommend taking profits. In case the pound grows in the first half of the day, you can open short positions again on a rebound from a high of 1.3325 and 1.3375.
