"A higher than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the GBP, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the GBP." this mean that i must buy GBP in "GBP USD "pair ,as GBP price will increase but what i find is that they sell it

Who does sell what? Currency pairs not always react straightforwardly to every macroeconomic release. There are thousands of different factors affecting currency rates.

As Enivid stated, it does not always work like that. You should never take any single indicator as a buy/sell signal.
