GBPUSD reaction after brexit vote

Theresa May's plan has been rejected by a historical vote which was a record , 432 rejected the deal against 202 MPs. She admitted the loss , but apparently , she is not resigning . She has the delusion that she is defending the brexit vote . A second referendum is imminent or we may be blocked by a no-deal brexit which no one wants. May hasd spent months negotiating with the EU , that rejected deal and now there is a movement led by jeremy corbyn to oust her using the no-confidence vote. GBP/USD , however is still holding around the 1.28$ figure , it fell sharply before the announcement of the vote results but soon , it reversed sharply reaching 1.2890$ area. Now the pair is trading around 1.2850$ with next and critical support at 1.2820$ marked by the orange horizontal line. Buy anywhere near that area and hold. The pair is still volatile though and you should be careful and quit in case we close any 1 hour below that area around 1.2820$. 

GBP/NZD at historical support

The pair has fallen aggressively to trade at multi year low at 1.77 , lowest monthly close in 2013 has been 1.81 , so if the pair managed to close above that level , that would be a good sign for short term recovery. Otherwise , on monthly close below 1.81 , the pair will continue falling. For recovery on the daily chart , we recommend going long on daily close above 1.7880 area and targeting 1.8250 and 1.86 area. We have a falling trend line , a breakout plus breaking resistance at 1.7880 area will help the pair recover towards 1.90 ultimately.

GBPUSD : Between the support and resistance

Sterling almost regained all the pips lost after the BOE announced a rate cut and the intention for more rate cuts this year. The pair was trading in a 1 hour channel which was broken today after reaching the top of the bigger falling channel on the 4h chart . So we have two channels in play now , uprising one which was rejected by the resistance line at 1.3270$ and went to find support at the 200 MA on 30 min chart and the base of the channel at 1.3170$ . The pair bounced 20 pips from the support , however I expect a break of the uprising channel and break of the support at 1.3170$ area. While the markets are waiting for any clues from janet yellen tomorrow at the jackson hole symposium , the pair will react violently to any hints about rate hike from the federal reserve . Personally , I believe we might see a rate hike in september . Anyway , we have two scenarios and possible trades here : First one : long the pair on the close above resistance trend line possibly at 1.3250$ ....
