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
This pair is in a very similar position to its sister pair AUD/USD, although arguably the outlook is more bearish as it is in a longer-term bearish trend. Although the price of this pair has not moved much over recent hours, and the speed of the downwards movement is slowing down, the picture is still dominated by the bearish trend line shown in the chart below. Although the nearest resistance level was recently broken, it is not very significant, and 0.6960 now looks like the nearest key level above the current price.
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.
