GBP / USD: plan for the American session on January 17. Traders do not know what to do with the pound

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

The British pound remained bargained in the side channel in the first half of the day, with the prospect of further growth after the British Prime Minister Theresa May managed to keep her post after another vote because of a vote of no confidence. 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 1.2880-90, which will resume the uptrend and will reach the highs of 1.2964 and 1.3016.

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

An unsuccessful consolidation above the resistance of 1.28800-90 will be the first signal for opening short positions in the pound, but the main task will be the breakdown and consolidation under the support of 1.2812, which will collapse GBP / USD to minima in the area of 1.2743 and 1.2672, where I recommend to fix the profit. In the case of a further uptrend, it is best to consider short positions from the new highs of 1.2964 and 1.3016.
