The GBP / USD currency pair on Wednesday trades continued a steady downward movement, which, from our point of view, is justified by only one factor. This factor is elections to the Parliament of Great Britain. They were left behind and deprived market participants of the foundation and the reason that allowed them to buy the pound in the last two months. Now that it is clear that the entire power in the country is concentrated in the hands of the Conservative Party, that neither Labor, nor Scottish nationalists, nor, moreover, other political forces, and even all of them combined, can prevent Boris Johnson from doing so, gives an opportunity with high accuracy to predict what will happen in the state in the near future.

Trading recommendations:

GBP / USD continues to form a new downtrend. The price has worked out the bottom line of the Ichimoku cloud and the first support level of 1.3083. Thus, a rebound from these strong support levels may trigger a round of upward correction. However, without rebounding the price from the indicated supports or without turning up the MACD indicator, it is not recommended to reduce sell positions. The following targets for trading are lowering 1.2931 and 1.2833. It is recommended that purchases of the British pound be returned no earlier than the price fixing above the Kijun-sen line, which is clearly not expected in the coming days.
