On Tuesday, May 14, the British pound continues the downward movement. Trump's statement yesterday about threats to introduce new duties to China and demands to sign a trade agreement in the near future, rather than wait for the 2020 election, helped him in this. The dollar has previously responded favorably to the escalation of the trade conflict with China. Now, the factors that support the dollar paired with the pound are much more than the opposite. In the meantime, it became known that the two ruling parties of Great Britain, the Conservatives and the Labor Party, once again sat down at the negotiating table, trying to find a way out of the EU, which would find support in Parliament. However, most likely, we are talking only about the revision of the version of the agreement of Theresa May, as the EU agrees only to this option of "deal" and is not going to conduct new negotiations on this issue. Laborites are even ready to vote for the "deal" in Parliament, if after that it will be put to a popular vote, then to the second referendum. However, Theresa May is fundamentally against the second referendum, and even the question arises, why? Because the referendum may end with the rejection of Brexit, and this will mean a complete political collapse of Theresa May. Thus, both parties are very far from consensus.

Nearest support levels:

S1 – 1.2939

S2 – 1.2909

S3 – 1.2878

Nearest resistance levels:

R1 – 1.2970

R2 – 1.3000

R3 – 1.3031

Trading recommendations:

The GBP/USD pair has overcome the moving average and continues to move down. Thus, short positions with the targets at 1.2939 and 1.2878 are relevant now, before the reversal of the Heiken Ashi indicator to the top.

Buy-positions are recommended to be considered only after the pair is reversed above the moving average with the first targets at 1.3062 and 1.3092. In this case, the bulls will get a new chance to form an upward trend.

In addition to the technical picture should also take into account the fundamental data and the time of their release.
