The British pound made another attempt to break through and consolidate above 1.2976 yesterday, but nothing good came of it. As a result, the day closed below 1.2967, which is now the first target of the bulls. Only a breakthrough of this range will provide the pound with a new growth wave to the area of a high of 1.3005, and possibly lead to a test of a larger level of 1.3049, where I recommend taking profits. However, the bears won't just let the pound go, so in case of a downward correction, you can look at long positions from the support of 1.2928, provided that there is a false breakout, a little above which the lower boundary of the new rising channel, which was formed from the lows of February 10, passes. If there is no demand for the British pound in the region of 1.2928, I recommend that you postpone purchases until the low of 1.2895 is updated, but with the expectation of a correction of no more than 20-30 points.

To open short positions on GBP/USD you need:

The formation of a false breakout in the morning in the resistance area of 1.2967 will be another signal to sell, which will lead to a downward correction to the support area of 1.2928, slightly above which the lower boundary of the new ascending channel passes. The breakout of this range will quickly push the pound to a low of 1.2895 and 1.2870, where I recommend taking profits. If the bears do not cope with the task of holding the resistance at 1.2967, then it is best to return to short positions to rebound from the highs of 1.3005 and 1.3049, however, they can only be updated if a very weak inflation report is released in the US, which is scheduled for publication in the afternoon.
