The breakdown of the resistance level of 1.3834 will be the first signal for the resumption of long positions in GBP / USD.
After the breakdown of resistance levels 1.3915 (local highs), 1.3970 (Fibonacci level 38.2% of the correction to the decline of the GBP / USD pair in the wave that began in July 2014 near the level of 1.7200), 1.4006 (local resistance level) GBP / USD will head towards resistance levels 1.4240, 1.4350, 1.4440, 1.4830 (50% Fibonacci level), 1.4830 (ЕМА200 on the monthly chart).
In an alternative scenario and after the breakdown of the support level 1.3800 (ЕМА50 on the daily chart), GBP / USD may decline to support levels 1.3540 (ЕМА144 on the daily chart), 1.3410 (ЕМА200 on the daily chart), 1.3210 (ЕМА200 on the weekly chart and Fibonacci level 23, 6%).
A breakdown of the local support level 1.2685 (September 2020 lows) will increase the risks of a resumption of the global bearish trend in GBP / USD and may provoke a deeper decline towards the support levels 1.2250, 1.2085, 1.2000 (Fibonacci level 0%).
