The Pound Sterling rose to a new four-day peak of 1.2575 on Tuesday after posting its biggest gain in the last three days.

Strong ISM Services PMI and JOLTS data, weighed on the GBP/USD pair
US equities remain mixed early during the North American session. The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) revealed that Services PMI rose by 54.1, exceeding estimates of 53.3 up from 52.1.
At the same time, the US Department of Labor revealed that the number of JOLTS job openings rose sharply, exceeding forecasts of 7.70 million to 8.098 million.
The data suggests the economy is in good shape and overshadowed the release of the Balance of Trade data.
The US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) revealed that the trade deficit widened in November, with the Trade Balance figures coming at $-78.2 billion, more than the $-73.6 billion reported in October.
According to BEA, Imports increased from $339.9 billion to $351.6 billion, a 3.4% increase. US Exports rose from $266.3 billion to $273.4 billion, a 2.7% increase.
In the UK, the British Retail Consortium revealed that retail sales rose 3.2% year over year in December, their highest level since March 2024.
Ahead this week, the UK economic docket remains scarce. In the US, the calendar will feature the ADP National Employment report and Initial Jobless Claims data for the week ending January 4.
GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
From a technical standpoint, the GBP/USD daily chart suggests the pair is reversing some of its weekly gains, the release of US data. If the pair drops below 1.2450, look for a retest of 1.2400. On further weakness, the next support would be the January 2 low of 1.2351.
On the other hand, if buyers buy the dip, they could retest 1.2500 and the daily high of 1.2575 before reaching 1.2600.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
