GBP/USD Forex Signal - 29 December 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

Despite the renewed strengthening of the USD that was seen last week, this pair found pretty viable support at the key psychological level of 1.5500, and has been moving up since then slowly but steadily. As it will probably be a fairly quiet day, I would expect either the support at 1.5500 or the resistance at 1.5606 to hold today.

GBPUSD 122914

There are no high-impact data releases scheduled today concerning the GBP or the USD. It is likely to be a quiet day for this pair.
