Analysis of transactions in the GBP / USD pair
News that the UK is ready to resume negotiations with the EU led to a very large increase in the British pound. The quote moved up from 1.2985 to the target level, which is 1.3017.
Trading recommendations for October 22
The upward trend will continue if there are specifics on the future negotiations between the UK and the EU. These are the concessions that the UK government can make in order to conclude an agreement. Without these details, the pound may collapse today as much as it rose yesterday.
- Open a long position when the pound reaches a quote of 1.3149 (green line on the chart), and then take profit around the level of 1.3194 (thicker green line on the chart).
- Open a short position when the pound reaches a quote of 1.3113 (red line on the chart), and then take profit at least at the level of 1.3046. Bad news on Brexit will resume the downward trend in the GBP/USD pair.
