FX.co ★ GBP / USD pair: plan for the US session on November 16. The demand for the pound remains minimal due to the risk of failure of the plan for Brexit

To open long positions on the GBP / USD pair, you need:

The situation has not changed compared with the morning forecast. The upside potential of the pound is still limited by the resistance of 1.2831, hence, it is best to open long positions after breaking through and fixing on this range in order to update the highs of 1.2890 and 1.2960, where I recommend taking profits. In case of a decline, support will be provided by the intermediate area of 1.2761, however, I recommend to open long positions immediately to rebound after testing the minimum of 1.2703 and 1.2663.

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

An unsuccessful fixation above resistance of 1.2831 signals to open short positions in order to reduce to the area of first support at 1.2761, the breakdown of which will lead to a larger sale of GBP / USD pair with a test of 1.2703 and 1.2663 minimum, where I recommend to fix profits. In the case of positive news on Brexit, a break of 1.2831 will lead to an increase in the pound. In this scenario, it is best to open short positions to rebound from a maximum of 1.2891 and 1.2962.
