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.
AUD/USD Analysis
We finally see a sustained break above the very key 0.7700 level and with a weaker U.S. Dollar, this pair looks to be most likely to lead a possible new trend of short USD. There is further resistance at 0.7732 and it should be noted the area just above 0.7700 has held as resistance for a long time. If the price can start gaining though, that will be a very significant bullish development suggesting the possible start of a big bullish move.
There is nothing due today concerning the AUD. Regarding the USD, there will be releases of Building Permits, the Philly Fed Manufacturing Index, and Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time.
