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/USD Analysis

I wrote in my previous GBP/USD forecast on Monday last week that the price was looking weakly bullish, if the support level at $1.2621 held.

The support level did not hold that day, and the action was marginally bearish, so it was an accurate call although not very useful.

The technical picture has changed dramatically, although it was in line with an earlier dominant trend which was relative strength in the British Pound. Over the past few days, ever since the Trump administration imposed 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada, the US Dollar has weakened, and the British Pound has been a primary beneficiary from that due the Pound's residual strength.

The price has risen very strongly over the past few days and is continues to reach new 3-month highs. The price is not far from a 4-month high.

Despite trading bullishly in blue sky, this bullish run has a temporary feel to it, as it is driven by policies which can be reversed in an instant, which could send the price flying lower quickly.

It makes sense to take advantage of the bullish momentum here, although the run may be over-extended by now.

I would look for a long scalp from a bullish bounce at the nearest support level of $1.2877.

There is nothing of high importance due today regarding the GBP. Concerning the USD, there will be a release of Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm.
