UK manufacturing PMI grows for tenth consecutive month
UK manufacturing grew for a tenth consecutive month in January according to the latest PMI figures, with new orders and employment also rising.
Markit’s UK Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI), a survey compiled of more than 600 industrial companies, slid to 56.7 in January from December’s 57.2.
Despite the UK’s PMI hitting a three-month low, it was comfortably above the survey’s long-run average of 51.3, suggesting a strong start for the economy in the first quarter of 2014.
“Although the pace of output expansion has cooled slightly in recent months, growth is still tracking at one of the highest rates in the 22-year survey history,” said Rob Dobson, senior economist at PMI compiler Markit.

GBP/USD Technical Analysis (based on dailyfx article)Prices declined as expected after putting in a Bearish Engulfing candlestick pattern. The pair is now testing support at 1.6260, the 50% Fibonacci retracement, with a break below that targeting the 61.8% level at 1.6164. Alternatively, a close back above the 38.2% Fib at 1.6356 aims for the underside of a rising channel bottom set from set from mid-December, now at 1.6428.
Risk/reward considering argue against taking a trade
with prices in close proximity to near-term support. Alternatively,
attempting to pick a bottom and trading the pair to the long side
presumes support will hold, which is an assumption that is thus far
baseless. As such, we remain sidelined for now.

I did not find yearly pivot points indicator in MT5 CodeBase sorry (if someone knows MT5 indicator so let me know please).
=============================================
How to Trade GBPUSD Forex Yearly Pivot Points (based on dailyfx article)
- From January to February 2013, GBPUSD fell 1400 pips breaking down through three significant pivot levels before settling
- GBPUSD double bottom bounce from the yearly Forex S2 pivot began a 1700 pip rise
- GBPUSD 2014 yearly Forex pivots may show excellent trading opportunities
But you may be asking, “Why should we look at yearly pivots?” It is a great question. In technical analysis, the longer the timeframe, the more statistically reliable the trendline, support and resistance level becomes as more data has gone into producing each point. This greater reliability added to the large moves that happen after a bounce and a break make these levels attractive buy and sell zones for Forex traders.
If someone is trading the news events so please note that GBPUSD is most risky pair for that (less risky is USDCAD) - just for information.
