Trading recommendations for the GBPUSD currency pair - prospects for further movement

Over the past trading day, the currency pair Pound / Dollar showed an extremely low volatility of 68 points, as a result of having a clear horizontal movement. From the point of view of technical analysis, we have a clear accumulation of 1.3020 / 1.3000, after the quote reached the value of 1.3000. This kind of slowdown has pulled traders to the fence ***, but at the same time, gives them attractive future positions. Meanwhile, the news and news background had quite diverse statistics on Europe, the States, and Britain, which reflects the current stagnation on the graph. In turn, statements by Jean-Claude Juncker regarding a recent meeting with the British Prime Minister appeared in the informational background. Juncker didn't rule out that the "hard Brexit" would eventually happen, and assessed the situation in more sombre tones.

Further development

Analyzing the current trading chart, we see price fluctuations inside the 1.3020 / 1.3100 cluster, which is developing at the current time at the lower limit. It is likely to assume that this kind of stagnation will lead to a subsequent impulse move, and many traders are focused on it, being on the fence ** now. With this logic, traders are now carefully analyzing the boundaries of the cluster on the subject of breakdown and regard possible pending orders.

Based on the available data, it is possible to expand a number of variations. Let's consider them:

- We consider buying positions in the case of price fixing higher than 1.3115, with the prospect of a move to 1.3200.

- We consider selling positions in the case of price fixing lower than 1.3000, with a prospect of 1.2950 (the first point).

Indicator Analysis

Analyzing a different sector of timeframes (TF ), we see that there was a downward interest in the short term. But due to the fact that the price is still in the bump phase, the indicators of indicators for smaller TF change. However, intraday and mid-term prospects both retain an upward interest against the background of the market.
