Buyers were able to hold the weekly lows and formed a false breakout and a new lower limit around 1.2843.

Only after a consolidation at this range, you can count on an upward trend in the region at 1.2943 and 1.2996. In the event of a decline in the pound in the afternoon, support will be provided by the area of 1.2843 and 1.2815.

To open short positions for GBP/USD, it is required:

A breakout and consolidation below the level of 1.2853 in the first half of the day turned out to be a false signal for selling.

However, it is best to consider new short positions on the rebound from the greater resistance of 1.2943.
