GBP/USD: plan for the US session on March 27. The pound took a step towards the lows of the day, but then turned around. Bulls expect to update the resistance at 1.2366

To open long positions on GBPUSD, you need:

The absence of important fundamental statistics in the first half of the day allowed sellers of the pound to consolidate below the support of 1.2230, which I paid attention to in my morning forecast. This led to a good decline in the GBP/USD almost to the lows of the day, which is clearly visible on the 5-minute chart. However, the bulls began to act more aggressively, not allowing them to reach support in the area of 1.2115. At the moment, buyers of the pound are focused on updating the resistance of 1.2366, where I recommend fixing the profits. With a breakout and consolidation above this range, the growth of GBP/USD can continue to the larger highs of 1.2514 and 1.2605. If the pressure on the pound returns in the second half of the day, then you can return to long positions on a false breakout from the support of 1.2150, or buy immediately on a rebound from the minimum of 1.1985, where the 50-daily moving average passes.

To open short positions on GBPUSD, you need:

Sellers coped with the morning task, but did not find support from major players and again released the market. At the moment, it is best to count on new short positions after updating the resistance of 1.2366, provided that a false breakout is formed there, or sell GBP/USD immediately on a rebound from the maximum of 1.2514. An equally important task for the bears will be to reduce and consolidate below the support of 1.2150, which will increase pressure on the pound and return the pair to the low of 1.1985, where I recommend fixing the profits.
