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 had thought that the pair would be likely to continue to range predictably between the key support and resistance levels shown in the chart below, at least until the British election on Thursday. However, we are seeing signs of a bullish break above the resistant structure under 1.2928. A break above this area could see a rise to about 1.3025 before probably being held by the next trend line shown in the chart. Although there has been a new poll showing the governing party in the U.K. with a large lead, betting markets continue to suggest a tightening race.
