GBP/USD: plan for the European session on September 30. Bears are not going to leave the market and are preparing a breakthrough

To open long positions on GBP/USD you need:

Pound buyers tried to return to the market, but nothing came of it. The entire focus in the morning will be shifted to UK GDP data, as a weak report will lead to a further downward trend. The bulls will try to form another false breakdown in the support area of 1.2284, which will be the first signal to open long positions in GBP/USD, however, a more important goal will be to break the resistance of 1.2323, which will lead to an upward correction to the area of a high of 1.2364, where I recommend taking profit. If fundamental statistics disappoint traders, then it is best to consider new purchases in GBP/USD after updating the lows near 1.2238 and 1.2165.

To open short positions on GBP/USD you need:

Sellers are not yet experiencing serious problems and continue to “bend” their line. A break of the low of 1.2284, which may coincide with the release of weak fundamental statistics on the growth of the UK economy, will lead to a further decrease in GBP/USD to the area of 1.2238, however, the further target of the bears in the middle of this week will be the support of 1.2165, where I recommend taking profit. If the pressure on the pair weakens in the first half of the day, it is best to count on short positions on a false breakdown from a resistance of 1.2323, but selling the pound right away on a rebound is best done from a high of 1.2364

Signals of indicators:

Moving averages

Trading below 30 and 50 moving averages, indicating a bear market in the short term.

Bollinger bands

A break of the lower boundary of the indicator in the region of 1.2270 will lead to increased pressure on the pair, while growth will be limited by the upper level in the region of 1.2323.

GBPUSD up and down. Back down testing 61.8% and swing area.

# GBPUSD tests 61.8% and swing area The GBPUSD is in an up and down day. The    GBPUSD  moved higher earlier. That move was helped by better than expected retail sales. However the high price today stalled near the high price from last week near 1.3643, and rotated back lower on the USD buying. The subsequent move lower now has the price back toward the 61.8% retracement along with a swing area between 1.35969 and 1.36034. As I type, the price has dipped below that swing area. What next? If the price can stay below the 1.36034 area, that would be the best case scenario for the sellers with the next major targets coming in at the 100 hour moving average 1.3569 (blue line), and the 200 hour moving average at 1.35609 (green line). The 50% midpoint of the 2022 trading range is just below those levels at 1.35526 and would be a another target on further weakness. A move back above 1.36034 with momentum would have traders looking again toward 1.3618 to 1.36271 and then t...
