GBP/USD Signal- Jan. 28, 2014

By Adam Lemon

Adam Lemon began his role at DailyForex in 2013 when he was brought in as an in-house Chief Analyst. Adam trades Forex, stocks and other instruments in his own account. Adam believes that it is very possible for retail traders/investors to secure a positive return over time provided they limit their risks, follow trends, and persevere through short-term losing streaks – provided only reputable brokerages are used. He has previously worked within financial markets over a 12-year period, including 6 years with Merrill Lynch.

GBP/USD Analysis

There has been no change in the technical picture. The overall bias should still be long as we are still established in a narrowing bullish channel that has been intact since last summer. There are no obviously good resistance levels above us except for a minor flip that occurred the last time the price was around 1.6750 in 2011. As we are a good day’s range away from both the support and resistance levels identified, I am looking for touch trades should we reach either of these levels today during the London session.

GBPUSD Signal 12814

There is important news due today for the GBP at 9:30am London time (Preliminary Quarterly GDP) and also later on for the USD at 1:30pm (Core Durable Goods Orders) and 3pm (CB Consumer Confidence).
