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 there was a bearish trend, but the Pound was still tending to be bought below 1.3000. However, I thought that a break below the next support at 1.2959 would be a really significant bearish sign, so that would probably be the next important pivotal level. This has not been tested yet, and as due to the holiday in the U.K. there was very little price movement yesterday, my analysis is still valid for today. I would take a bearish bias if the London open sees a strong downward movement to new lows, at least until the support at 1.2959.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the GBP or the USD.
