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
Yesterday I noted that the price was advancing here, but I just could not take a fully bullish bias as the Pound seems to have too much inherent weakness and looked ready to fall against a U.S. Dollar recovery. However, the price has held up surprisingly well, not as strongly as in the EUR/USD, but this pair is looking increasingly bullish. There is no news due to either currency today, so the consolidation is quite likely to continue, but if the price can break up above the resistance at 1.3940, it should be a sign that the bulls are in charge. I have no directional bias for now.
There is nothing due today concerning either the GBP or the USD.
