GBP/USD: The bull is on its way

GBP/USD produced a bullish inside bar yesterday. A bullish inside bar is a weak bullish reversal candle but today's price action on the H1 chart has been very bullish. The pair is trading below yesterday's lowest low. As of writing, the current H1 candle is about to make a breakout at that level. If the chart makes an H1 breakout, the buyers may take a long entry upon breakout confirmation.
