Trading recommendations for the GBPUSD currency pair - placement of trading orders (April 16)

For the last trading day, the currency pair pound / dollar showed an extremely low volatility of 50 points, as a result of which having a low amplitude fluctuation. From the point of view of technical analysis, we see the compression of the quotation, where there is a distinct resistance in the form of the value of 1.3120, which appeared during the initial corrective movement. On the other hand, the information and news background cautiously analyzes everything that is happening in the "world" of Brexit, where business and investors in general, are trying to understand where they are going. This is actually one of the reasons for the sharp decline in volatility. In turn, Prime Minister Theresa May said that London will continue to prepare for the possible withdrawal of the country from the EU without an agreement with the European Union.
