Simple wave analysis and forecast for GBP/USD, USD/JPY, USD/CHF for January 5, 2021

GBP/USD

Analysis:

The pound sterling has been moving in an uptrend since March last year. According to the short-term time frame, the last unfinished section of the trend started from December 21. Based on the long-term time frame, the price approached the lower border of the strong resistance zone. The price has been retracing since yesterday.

Outlook:

Most likely, the price will move sideways between the nearest resistance and support zones. Today, during the course of the European session, there can be a second attempt to put the support zone under pressure. The upward direction will be possible by the end of the day or tomorrow.

Potential reversal areas

Resistance:

- 1.3670/1.3700

Support:

- 1.3550/1.3520

Recommendations:

It will be risky to trade the pound against the trend direction. The best thing to do is to reduce the lot size as much as possible while selling the pound. Long positions are preferable from the support zone.

Outlook:

Over the course of the next day, there may be repeated attempts to put pressure on the support zone. By the end of the day or tomorrow, one can expect a reversal and the beginning of price growth. In case the trend changes, a short-term breakout at the lower border of the support zone may take place.
