The morning forecast for the purchase from the level of 1.2382 has fully worked itself out and now the bulls' goal is the resistance of 1.2452, which will be difficult to reach, given that inflation in the UK coincided with the forecasts of economists. With the GBP/USD falling again to the support area of 1.2382, it is best to return to long positions under the condition of a false breakout and to rebound from the new lows of 1.2342 and 1.2266.

To open short positions on GBP/USD, you need:

Bears will try to return to the support of 1.2383, and a repeated test of this range will lead to its breakdown and further decline of GBP/USD in the area of monthly lows of 1.2342 and 1.2266, where I recommend fixing the profit. With the growth of the pound in the second half of the day, for example, after weak fundamental data on the US, you can look at short positions on a false breakout in the area of 1.2452 or on a rebound from the maximum of 1.2498.
