To open long positions on GBP/USD you need:

Buyers of the British pound could resume an uptrend, but this will require a breakdown of resistance at 1.3135. Only after this will prospects open for updating the highs in the region of 1.3214 and 1.3260, where I recommend taking profits. However, a larger upward movement will depend on negotiations between British Prime Minister Theresa May and EU representatives. In case of a downward correction of the purchase for the pound, I recommend doing it only on the condition of a false breakdown in the area of 1.3053 or on a rebound from 1.2971.

To open short positions on GBP/USD you need:

An unsuccessful consolidation above the resistance of 1.3135 will be the first signal to sell the British pound, however, the main goal of the sellers will be a breakthrough of the support at 1.3053, which may lead to a further drop in GBP/USD with the exit to the lows of 1.2971 and 1.2894, where I recommend to fix the profit. In case the pound increases above 1.3135, it's best to take a closer look at short positions after updating the month highs around 1.3260 and 1.3348. Any news of the failure of negotiations between May and EU representatives could lead to a rapid fall in the pound.
