GBP/USD: plan for the European session on January 17. Parliament voted against Brexit agreement

To open long positions on GBP/USD you need:

The British pound regained its position after yesterday's decline. The British Parliament voted against the Brexit agreement, which was quite expected and did not lead to significant changes in the market. Purchases of GBP/uSD today can be seen after the formation of a false breakdown in the area of 1.2812 or a rebound from the support of 1.2743. However, the main task remains a breakthrough above the resistance of 1.2883, which will resume the uptrend and will allow to reach the highs of 1.2964 and 1.3016. Much will depend on the data on inflation in the UK, which is expected to be released today in the morning.

To open short positions on GBP/USD you need:

An unsuccessful consolidation above the resistance of 1.2883 will be the first signal to open short positions in the pound, but the main task will be the breakdown and consolidation under the support of 1.2812, which will sharply pull down GBP/USD to the lows in the area of 1.2743 and 1.2672, where I recommend to fix the profit. In case of a further uptrend after the release of good data on inflation in the UK, it is best to consider short positions from the new highs of 1.2964 and 1.3016.
