GBPUSD | Perspective for the new week | Follow-up

Updated
This is a follow-up video to my previous analysis on the GBPUSD where we scooped over 400pips profit to start the year on a profitable note (see link below for reference purposes). The U.S. dollar started the year on a positive note, trading near a one-month high after healthy employment data pointed to a strong labor market ahead of the most anticipated macroeconomic event in the non farm payrolls report after which it relinquished all of its gain to come back to where price started the year at the $1.21000 area.

Price action started the week on a bullish note hereby leading to the breakout of our key level at the 1.21000 level. From the current structure, we now have a support and resistance level for the week at 1.20850 and 1.21250 respectively. As long as the price remains above this key level, we should be comfortable in a buy position.

Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey's speech coming up in 20 minutes and there is a tendency for a huge spike in price movement. So, we want to secure our current sell position with selling opportunities below the 1.21700 still valid. However, a breakout/retest of the 1.21850 level could incite a bullish momentum but I won't be comfortable unless a breakout of the 1.22100 level happens.
