Pound continued to decline due to the empty economic calendar last Wednesday. However, the test of 1.2447 coincided with the time that the MACD line was far from zero, so the downside potential was limited.
Ahead are important reports from the US, such as the number of initial jobless claims and the volume of existing home sales. Very mixed statistics will help pound start a rally, especially if comments from FOMC member Lorie Logan are dovish.
For long positions:
Buy pound when the quote reaches 1.2457 (green line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.2536 (thicker green line on the chart). Growth will be seen if there is weak data from the US. However, before buying, make sure that the MACD line is above zero and is starting to rise from it. Pound can also be bought after the level of 1.2423 is tested twice, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.2457 and 1.2505.
For short positions:
Sell pound when the quote reaches 1.2423 (red line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.2386. Pressure could return if there is a strong housing market report in the US. However, before selling, make sure that the MACD line is below zero and is starting to drop down from it. Pound can also be sold after the level of 1.2457 is tested twice, but the MACD line should be in the overbought area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.2423 and 1.2386.
What's on the chart:
Thin green line - entry price at which you can buy GBP/USD
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.
