To open long positions on GBPUSD, you need:

Bulls have retreated from the market and are waiting for the results of the parliamentary elections in the UK. As noted in the morning review, the victory of the Conservative Party and the majority in parliament will lead to a new sharp wave of growth of GBP/USD, and a break above the maximum of 1.3220 will only drag new major players into the market, which will allow reaching the levels of 1.3265 and 1.3316, as well as test the resistance of 1.3375, where I recommend taking the profits. In the scenario of the absence of a majority of the conservatives, it is best to return to long positions after the correction in the area of large support levels of 1.3049 and 1.2988. It is best to open long positions from the lower border of the current side channel around 1.3108 if a false breakout is formed.

To open short positions on GBPUSD, you need:

You can count on short positions in the pound only on the condition that the next UK elections again will not allow the formation of a majority in the parliament of any party, which will leave the current impasse with Brexit unchanged. If Labor won, then the pressure on the pound will increase. A break below 1.3108 will lead to a larger downward movement with a return to the lows of 1.3049 and 1.2988, where I recommend taking the profits. However, the further targets of the bears will be the levels of 1.2939 and 1.2896. In the scenario of the pound growth, it is best to return to short positions only after updating the next annual highs around 1.3265 and 1.3316, as well as a rebound from the resistance level of 1.3375.
