GBP / USD: plan for the European session on December 24. The pound remains in the channel

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

While trading is above the middle of channel of 1.2655, the demand for the British pound will continue, and the main task will be a breakout and consolidation above the resistance of 1.2707, which will resume the uptrend and lead to new highs in the area of 1.2755 and 1.2810, where I recommend fixing the profits. If the scenario of a decline in GBP / USD is below support at 1.2655, long positions can be seen from the lows at 1.2607 and 1.2556.

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

Short positions in the pound are best to look for after an unsuccessful fixing above the resistance of 1.2707, which can lead to re-test and breakdown of support 1.2655, which will increase the pressure on GBP / USD and collapse the pair to a minimum in the area of 1.2607 and 1.2556, where I recommend fixing the profits. In the case of a pound rising above 1.2707, which is unlikely, short positions can be opened immediately to rebound from a new weekly high of 1.2755.
