Yesterday’s signals produced an initially profitable long trade from the bullish inside candlestick rejecting the support zone at 1.2508, yet it only made the minimum 20 pips of profit before returning to be stopped out at breakeven.

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.
USD/CAD Analysis
Yesterday the price found some support at the supportive zone I identified as starting at 1.2508, but the bounce was short-lived, and the lower edge of the zone is now threatened. However, it may hold. The U.S. Dollar remains quite strong generally, so I have a slight bullish bias on this pair today, although I still expect the resistance level at 1.2586 to be strong if it is reached.
There is nothing due today concerning the CAD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Crude Oil Inventories data at 3:30pm London time.
