News that Boris Johnson could become the new British prime minister is putting more and more pressure on the pound. Judging by yesterday’s polls – it appears so. Yesterday, buyers showed themselves in the support area of 1.2439, from which an upward correction may start today, but under the condition that a false breakdown is formed on it. If the pressure on the pound continues, and the level of 1.2439 is broken, it is best to consider new long positions to rebound from lows of 1.2405 and 1.2374.

At the moment, the sellers’ goal is to break through support at 1.2439, which will maintain a downward impulse and lead to updating lows around 1.2405 and 1.2374, where I recommend taking profits. In case the pair grows after the Fed chief’s speech, short positions can be returned on a false breakdown from a resistance of 1.2471, or to rebound from a high of 1.2501.
