GBP/USD Forex Signal - 7 May 2015

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.

GBP/USD Signals Update

Yesterday’s signals were triggered with a long trade off a break of an inside hourly candle from the support at 1.5164. This trade made some profit at 1.5225 and is probably worth hanging onto for the remainder just in case the election results push the pound up later. Alternatively, at least until 1.5300.

GBP/USD Analysis

I was broadly correct yesterday in that this pair did not really rise by much yesterday, but it did rise in line with the bullish bias I had identified, and the support I saw at 1.5174 was good support for a profitable long trade.

We can probably expect more ranging today, with little news, although the USD news later could move the price. However the market will probably wait for more clarity from the U.K. which means the general election result, and this will probably not be known before Friday.

GBPUSD 5715

There will be a release of U.S. Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time.
