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.
USD/CAD Analysis
The price is ranging in between key levels, and despite the large market movements we have seen over recent days, it really is not going anywhere. This strongly suggests that today’s opportunities will be in other Forex currency pairs, and not here. Technically, a possible short trade from 1.3671 which also rejects the trend line shown in the chart below would be the most attractive outcome here.
Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time. There is nothing due concerning the CAD.
