Yesterday, there was a great signal to enter the market. Let us take a look at the 5-minute chart to clear up the market situation. It was quiet during the European trading session: considering the low volatility of the market, the levels I mentioned in the morning were not tested so there were no signals for entering the market. During the US session, after a good US GDP report, the pound lost ground against the dollar, which resulted in a false breakout around 1.2354 and a buy signal. As a result, the pair climbed more than 60 pips.

Conditions for opening long positions on GBP/USD:

The UK will not release any reports today, so I expect the market to be on the bears' side as they actively defend the January highs. It will be wise to go long after a decline to 1.2354, the middle limit of the channel, which worked perfectly yesterday afternoon. A false breakout of this level will allow the pair to move to 1.2443. If the price settles at this level and downwardly tests it, the pound sterling may jump to 1.2487. If it climbs above this level, it may surge to 1.2553, where it is recommended to lock in profits. If bulls fail to protect 1.2354, pressure on the pound/dollar pair will increase, thus causing a bearish correction. That is why traders should be cautious when opening long positions. It is better to open long orders after a decline and a false breakout of the low of 1.2285. It is also possible to go long just after a bounce off 1.2231, expecting a rise of 30-35 pips within the day.

Conditions for opening short positions on GBP/USD:

The bears have everything under control as they refuse to allow the bullish scenario to materialize. The closer the central banks meetings are, the less traders are willing to buy the pound, which allows us to build a bearish correction. The fact that the pair trades around the moving averages also indicates the probability of a larger drawdown at the end of the week. That requires a good report from the U.S., which we will talk more about in the forecast for the U.S. session. Right now bears should primarily protect the resistance level of 1.2423, which was formed yesterday. If the price jumps in the first part of the day, a false breakout of 1.2443 will be enough to form a sell signal with the target at 1.2354. A breakout and an upward test of this area will affect the bullish trend, forming a sell signal with the target at 1.2285. If the price tests this level, this could be considered an attempt to form a downtrend. The farthest target is located at 1.2231,where it is recommended to lock in profits. If the pound/dollar pair increases and bears fail to protect 1.2423, bulls will gain control over the market. In this case, only a false breakout of 1.2487 will give a short signal. If bears fail to be active at this level, the asset could be sold from the high of 1.2553 with the target located 30-35 pips lower.

COT report

According to the COT report from January 17, the number of both long and short positions increased. It is important to understand that the Fed's aggressive policy is no longer as effective as it used to be. A slowdown in economic growth and a decrease in retail sales are the first signals of a looming recession in the US. At the same time, the Bank of England keeps combating inflation. Although inflation is a bit lower, it is still not enough for the regulator to alter its monetary stance. Therefore, aggressive tightening is likely to go on. This may allow the pound sterling to recoup previous losses. The recent COT report unveiled that the number of short non-commercial positions increased by 703 to 66,166, while the number of long non-commercial positions surged by 5,4628 to 41,469. Consequently, the non-commercial net position came in at -24,697 versus -29,456 a week ago. These are insignificant changes. Therefore, they are unlikely to affect the market sentiment. That is why traders should monitor macroeconomic reports from the UK as they may drop a hint about the plan of the BoE. The weekly closing price increased to 1.2290 from 1.2182.
