Analysis of transactions and tips for trading GBP/USD

The price test of 1.2376, coinciding with the rise of the MACD line from zero, prompted a buy signal that led to a more than 30 pips increase in the pair.

Markets await the upcoming business activity data from the UK manufacturing sector, followed by reports on lending and M4 money supply aggregate. Disappointing indicators will return pressure on the pair. However, if nothing negative happens to business activity, there could be slight growth or an upward correction at the beginning of this month.

For long positions:

Buy when pound hits 1.2442 (green line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.2490 (thicker green line on the chart). Growth could occur after positive economic data. However, when buying, traders should make sure that the MACD line lies above zero or rises from it. Pound can also be bought after two consecutive price tests of 1.2410, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.2442 and 1.2490.

For short positions:

Sell when pound reaches 1.2410 (red line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.2360. Pressure could continue if reports show reduced activity. However, when selling, traders should make sure that the MACD line lies below zero or drops down from it. Pound can also be sold after two consecutive price tests of 1.2442, but the MACD line should be in the overbought area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.2410 and 1.2360.

What's on the chart:

Thick green line - estimated price where you can set Take-Profit (TP) or manually fix profits, as further growth above this level is unlikely.

Thin red line - entry price at which you can sell GBP/USD

Thick red line - estimated price where you can set Take-Profit (TP) or manually fix profits, as further decline below this level is unlikely.

MACD line- it is important to be guided by overbought and oversold areas when entering the market

Important: Novice traders need to be very careful when making decisions about entering the market. Before the release of important reports, it is best to stay out of the market to avoid being caught in sharp fluctuations in the rate. If you decide to trade during the release of news, then always place stop orders to minimize losses. Without placing stop orders, you can very quickly lose your entire deposit, especially if you do not use money management and trade large volumes.

And remember that for successful trading, you need to have a clear trading plan. Spontaneous trading decision based on the current market situation is an inherently losing strategy for an intraday trader.
