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

The price has reached an area of some support, which has been enough to halt any further substantial fall since early in yesterday’s London session. However, the action still looks bearish, so it feels as if the price will again fall today to make new 2-month low prices.GBPUSD

There is nothing due today regarding either the GBP or the USD.
