25.03.202015:43 Forex Analysis & Reviews: GBP/USD: plan for the US session on March 25. The bears did not think long and responded with sales from the resistance of 1.1926

To open long positions on GBPUSD, you need:

Even in the morning review, I paid attention to the resistance of 1.1926 and recommended that in case of growth, open short positions from it, which happened. The bears did not think long and having formed a false breakout, which is clearly visible on the 5-minute chart, they continued to put pressure on the pound. The growth of the pound in the first half of the day can be attributed to good data on inflation. At the moment, the task of the bulls remains to hold the level of 1.1798, but only the formation of a false breakout in this range will be a signal to open long positions in the expectation of a return to the resistance of 1.1926, where I recommend fixing the profits. If the GBP/USD falls further, it is best to pay attention to purchases only after the support test of 1.1635, or a rebound from the year's low of 1.1470.

To open short positions on GBPUSD, you need:

Bears need to focus on returning to the level of 1.1798, as only a consolidation below this range will increase pressure on the pair and lead to a decrease in the support area of 1.1635. However, it will be possible to speak more boldly about the resumption of the bearish trend only after a breakout in this area, which will lead to the demolition of a number of stop orders from buyers and a faster decline in GBP/USD to the area of the year's minimum of 1.1470, where I recommend fixing the profits. If the bulls try to return to the market in the second half of the day, you can still return to short positions after a false breakout from the resistance of 1.1926, or sell the pound immediately on a rebound from the highs of 1.2023 and 1.2112, counting on correction of 60-70 points inside the day.
