The best method to identify a classic “price action reversal” is for an hourly candle to close, such as a , a doji, an outside or even just an engulfing candle with a higher close. You can exploit these levels or zones by watching the that occurs at the given levels.
GBP/USD AnalysisI wrote in my previous at the start of this week that the best opportunity looked likely to be from a bullish breakout beyond $1.2603 during the first half of the day’s London session. This was a good call in the sense that the price quickly retreated from that area when it was tested, so it was a pivotal point worth watching.The last two days have seen the US Dollar give up some of its recent gains and decline quite firmly, after it reached a near 2-year high price just a few days ago. The question now is whether the long-term bullish trend in the US Dollar will resume, meaning the directional bias here would be short.The best chance which might set up today would be a short-term long trade from a bullish bounce at the support at $1.2650, which is confluent with a half-number. However, the price may already be turning bullish after reaching to within just a few pips of that level.Any trades here should be taken early, as due to the public holiday in the USA, there will likely be very thin liquidity later towards the last few hours of the London session today.There is nothing of high importance due today concerning either the GBP or the USD. It is a public holiday today in the USA.More By This Author:Forex Today: Australian Inflation Unexpectedly Holds Steady At 2.1% Forex Today: Bitcoin Makes Biggest Drop Since Trump WinForex Today: Bitcoin Heading To $100,000
