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 environment now was risk-off which would tend to push this pair down, but that could easily turn around on good trade news about the threatened tariffs, so a bullish bounce at any nearby support level could still be a good long trade entry.This was a good call as such a bullish bounce was made a few pips below the nearest support level which I identified.
The British Pound is relatively strong this week, and the price is near multi-day highs, so it looks quite likely that we will see still higher prices today.
A break above last week’s high would be a bullish sign.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the GBP or the USD.
