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 fell and rebounded sharply just below the support level I had identified at 1.3444. Trading support and resistance levels tends to be difficult with this pair as it often slips the levels, rather than reacting very precisely to them. The price now is likely to range between 1.3400 and 1.3500. There is now a confluence of a long-term bearish trend line and a big round number at 1.3500 above, this could be an excellent level at which to find a bearish turn to exploit for a good long trade. A sustained break above 1.3500 would be a very bullish sign.
There is no long-term trend in this pair.
There is nothing due today concerning the CAD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of CB Consumer Confidence data at 3pm London time
