Island Reversal are powerful reversal signals so as a swing trader I'm always searching these out and/or watching them form.
The most powerful Island Reversals generally occur around some sort of news event (or sometimes prior to a news event if Wall Street is in the "know") and typically leads to fairly violent initial move to the upside or downside.
What is important about the "strongest" of these reversals is that the "white space" will remain for some time and/or never clears!

Truly the best reversals are when you can look at a chart after the fact and see a "clear island"-like the Mother of all Islands above on SPX or the JPM example! Hence why I don't believe our current Island Reversal on SPX is going to be classified as the Mother of all Reversals...the gaps just aren't big enough IMO.
