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
I wrote yesterday that the overall outlook had become less bullish for this pair, especially as there is a new lower resistance level established at 1.4168, but the level at 1.4092 could still hold and give another leg up. The price did indeed move down and get established below the psychologically important number at 1.4000 after initially bouncing a few pips below 1.4092. The Pound is clearly weaker than the Euro, and despite the long-term bullish trend, it is hard to be bullish if the price is below 1.4090 let alone below 1.4000. The next movement seems hard to forecast, we may just see a bottoming-out consolidation above the next support level at 1.3917.
There is nothing due today concerning either the GBP or the USD.
