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.
NZD/USD Analysis
It is hard to predict what will happen next with this currency pair. It is not following the usually highly positively correlated AUD/USD pair. There is a shaky, very slight supportive trend line, but the price sells off every time it reaches highs near the resistance at 0.7048. Despite the slight bullishness, I think a downwards movement would be stronger and sharper than an upwards movement, but I see no obvious end to the range. There should be better opportunities elsewhere.
There is nothing due today regarding the NZD. Concerning the USD, there will be a release of Crude Oil Inventories data at 3:30pm London time.
