To open long positions on GBP/USD you need:
Theresa May once again failed to get British Parliament's approval of her Brexit plan, which led to a sharp drop in the pound. Now buyers will wait for the development of the scenario along the path of extending the delay in the UK exit from the EU, which will support the pound. In the current scenario, while trade is conducted above support at 1.3079, demand for the pound will remain, and the main goal of the bulls will be to update the high of 1.3145 and 1.3229, where I recommend taking profits. In case the GBP/USD further declines, long positions can be seen from the lows of 1.3011 and 1.2963.
To open short positions on GBP/USD you need:
Bears will show themselves from the resistance level of 1.3145, or you can open short positions immediately to rebound from a high of 1.3229. Sellers are counting on a random UK exit from the EU, which is now quite likely after May's failure yesterday. Return below the support level of 1.3079 will be another signal to sell the pound for the purpose of testing the lows of 1.3011 and 1.2963, where I recommend taking profits.
Indicator signals:

Bollinger bands
In case the pound decreases, support will be provided by the lower limit of the Bollinger Bands indicator around 1.3045. A break of the upper border of the indicator around 1.3135 will be a signal for the pound's further growth.
