To open long positions on GBP/USD, you need:

The weakness of the US dollar is clearly seen in the pair with the British pound, where buyers have coped with the next task, and, despite the emerging divergence on the MACD indicator, fixed above the resistance of 1.2728. While trading is conducted above this level, it is likely that the upward correction will continue to the highs of 1.2765 and 1.2795, where I recommend fixing the profit. In the scenario of a pound decline below the level of 1.2728, for example, on good inflation data in the US, you can count on long positions to rebound from the minimum of 1.2691.

To open short positions on GBP/USD, you need:

Sellers of the pound will return only after the update of the resistance of 1.2765, and then, under the condition of false breakdown, however, I recommend opening larger short positions on the test of the maximum of 1.2795. The main task of the bears will be to close the day below the support of 1.2728, which will keep the pair in the side channel.
