GBP/USD: plan for the US session on February 10. A reversal from the pound buyers and an attempt to return to the resistance of 1.2918

To open long positions on GBPUSD, you need:

In the morning forecast, I paid attention to purchases in the support area of 1.2867 and to the divergence that could have formed on the MACD indicator, which pushed the sellers of the pound out of the market. At the moment, buyers have reached their target and are trying to pick up the resistance of 1.2918, however, it will be clear whether it will be possible to strengthen their positions above this range only after the close of the day. The nearest target of the bulls is a maximum of 1.2955, a break of which will provide a direct road to the area of the level of 1.2995, where I recommend fixing the profits. In the scenario of a downward correction of GBP/USD in the second half of the day and a return of the pair to the area of 1.2918, it is best to return to long positions only for a rebound from the minimum of 1.2867.

To open short positions on GBPUSD, you need:

Sellers, without thinking twice, left the market after reaching the support of 1.2867, which I paid attention to in my morning forecast. At the moment, much will depend on whether the area of 1.2918 can be regained or not. If the North American session will develop according to the scenario of bulls, then it is best to look at short positions only after updating the highs of 1.2955 and 1.2995. If the bears regain the level of 1.2918, then speculative buyers will also quickly exit the market, which may gradually push the pair into the area of today's opening, or even lead to a repeat update of the support of 1.2867, where I recommend fixing the profits. The speeches of the representatives of the Federal Reserve System are unlikely to have a serious impact on the pair's quotes and will have some short-term impact on the pound.
