Last Thursday’s signals produced a losing long trade following the first bullish pin candle rejecting the identified support level at 0.6975. However, the level worked well as support and there was a subsequent opportunity to enter successfully for greater profit than the initial loss.

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
The long-term downwards trend has run out of momentum and the pair is rising again, being bought most recently at or very close to the psychologically important and very large round number at 0.7000. However, the resistance at 0.7068 looks relatively strong so the price is quite likely to simply consolidate around the 0.7050 area for the time being.
There is nothing due today regarding either the NZD or the USD.
