Analysis of transactions and trading tips on GBP/USD
The test of 1.2148 earlier in the day occurred when the MACD line just started to rise from zero, prompting a signal to buy. This led to a price increase of over 60 pips. However, all happened within the framework of an upward correction, so do not have too much confidence in a similar rise during the US session.
This afternoon, much will depend on the upcoming US statistics, as good numbers on jobless claims, together with Q2 GDP data, may slightly dampen the enthusiasm of buyers. However, statements made by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell could provoke a rise, as last week, he expressed a more dovish stance on future interest rates.
For long positions:
Buy when pound hits 1.2211 (green line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.2263 (thicker green line on the chart). Growth will occur within the framework of an upward correction. However, when buying, ensure that the MACD line lies above zero or rises from it.
Pound can also be bought after two consecutive price tests of 1.2173, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.2211 and 1.2263.
For short positions:
Sell when pound reaches 1.2173 (red line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.2118. Pressure may return after the release of strong US reports. However, when selling, 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 1.2211, but the MACD line should be in the overbought area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.2173 and 1.2118.
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.
