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 this was the most interesting major currency pair at present, with the looking likely to advance to the next level at 1.3145. I was right about taking a bullish bias above 1.3100, which paid off with this pair being the major mover yesterday.
Over the medium-term, this pair still looks like the most bullish or bearish of all the majors, in the bullish direction. However, we are starting to see some short-term changes which suggest that this situation is not likely to last. I think if the price can break below 1.3140 soon, we are likely to see a deeper bearish retracement today, with no support levels close below that to hold up the price.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the GBP or the USD.
