GBP/USD analysis for 15/01/2019:

On Tuesday, the parliament votes on adopting the Brexit agreement project and all indicate that the government plan will be rejected. Then the government will have 3 days to work out a plan B with the risk of a vote of no confidence submitted by the Labor Party, the creation of a referendum and the postponement of the Brexit date (March 29). However the chances of Brexit are decreasing without agreed terms, it is hard to expect a pound appreciation in the face of a political muddle.

Let's now take a look at the GBP/USD technical picture at the H4 time frame. The market is trading just below the technical resistance at the level of 1.2928 which is a local high as well. In the case of an extended rally, the next target is seen at the level of 1.3000, which will act as a magnet for the price. On the other hand, any failure to break out above the local high will likely result in a down move towards the technical support at the level of 1.2839 - 1.2795. If this support zone is violated, then the next support is seen at the level of 1.2705.
