GBP/USD: plan for the European session on January 22. May announced a number of changes to the Brexit agreement, which supported the pound

To open long positions on GBP/USD you need:

As it became known yesterday, British Prime Minister Theresa May is preparing a series of changes to the Brexit agreement related to the Irish border, which maintains the demand for the British pound. Currently, bulls require a quick return and consolidation above the resistance of 1.2895, which will lead to a larger upward trend in the area of a high of 1.2944 and 1.3006, where I recommend to fix profits. In case the pound declines in the first half of the day, it is best to look at long positions on a false breakdown around 1.2833 or on a rebound from the low of 1.2752.

To open short positions on GBP/USD you need:

Failing to fix above the resistance at 1.2895 will be the first signal to open short positions in the pound, but the main task will be a breakthrough of the support level of 1.2833, which was not possible yesterday. Only after the breakdown of this range will the downtrend resume, which will lead the GBP/USD to the lows of 1.2752 and 1.2679, where I recommend taking profits. In case of an uptrend on the news on Brexit, it is best to consider short positions from the highs around 1.2944 and 1.3006.
