The best method to identify a classic “price action reversal” is for an hourly candle to close, such as a pin bar, a doji, an outside or even just an engulfing candle with a higher close. You can exploit these levels or zones by watching the price action that occurs at the given levels.
GBP/USD Analysis
This pair is back in a long-term bullish trend, but less strongly than its sister pair EUR/USD is. It is more a case of a weak USD than a strong GBP driving the rise, although as it becomes clearer that the UK is heading towards a very soft Brexit – probably – the Pound does move upwards. The most interesting technical features which can be seen in today’s price chart below is the major lower high, which suggests continued downwards price movement, but it is likely that there is strong support below at 1.3500 or possibly as high as 1.3525. If the price gets established below 1.3500 that would be a bearish sign, but if the area holds up then in line with the bullish trend, the price should turn around and begin to make new highs.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the GBP or the USD.
