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
I wrote yesterday that this pair has no long-term trend and is hard to predict. The price dropped below the psychologically crucial 0.7500 level, but then rose above it again and began to use it as support once more. If the price returns there it could remain an interesting level for support, but both support and resistance should be equally interesting to traders as there does not seem to be much obvious reason for bias in either direction.
There is nothing due today regarding the AUD. Concerning the USD, there will be releases of Unemployment Claims and Philly Fed Manufacturing Index data at 1:30pm London time, followed later by the Treasury Secretary speaking at 6:15pm.
