29.06.202008:22 Forex Analysis & Reviews: GBP/USD: plan for the European session on June 29 (analysis of yesterday's deals). Pound can quickly win back Friday's fall. Bulls focus on resistance 1.2395

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

A fairly good signal was formed for selling the British pound last Friday, which I noticed in my review for the afternoon. If you look at the 5-minute chart, you will see how the bears were active after GBP/USD fell to the level of 1.2395, which resulted in a sharp sell-off to the support area of 1.2334, where I advise you to open long positions. At the moment, the task of pound buyers is to return the resistance of 1.2395, since quite a lot depends on this level. If bulls are able to cope with this area after the Bank of England governor gives his speech, then after consolidating above this level, you can look at long positions to continue the growth of GBP/USD to the area of a high of 1.2463 I recommend taking profits. The long-term goal is to test the 1.2536 area. In case the pound falls in the morning, buyers will need to protect support at 1.2334, forming a false breakout there will be a signal to buy the pound. If there is no activity on the part of the bulls, it is best to postpone long positions until the low of 1.2290 and 1.2237 is updated and open long positions from there immediately for a rebound while expecting a correction of 30-40 points within the day.

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

Pound sellers should not postpone their return to the market, as Friday's downward movement may indicate the completion of the bearish market formed on June 10 this year. Protecting resistance at 1.2395 and forming a false breakout on it will be a signal to open short positions, the main purpose of which will be a break and consolidation below support 1.2334 in the morning. Such a scenario will be an additional signal to sell GBP/USD based on the continuation of the bearish market, which will cause the pair to test the lows of 1.2290 and 1.2237, where I recommend taking profits. If sellers don't take active steps in the resistance area of 1.2395, it is best to postpone short positions until the high of 1.2463 is updated with the aim of a correction of 30-40 points within the day.
