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/CHF Analysis
This pair continues to rise, and has risen very strongly over the past several days. I wrote yesterday that it seemed likely now that the nearest key resistance level at 1.1011 would be reached over the next few days, and the price is both close to that level and heading to it at the time of writing. The minor support I identified at 1.1040 / 1.1050 worked well in holding up the price, and saw yesterday’s low.
With this recent strong upwards move, and looking at a very long-term chart, it must be said that there is a weak long-term bullish trend in force. However, this pair does not usually like to trend for long, and the upwards movement does seem to be beginning to slow down, so the time to be “mindlessly” bullish day trading this pair has probably passed. Nevertheless, a bullish bias makes sense.
There is nothing scheduled concerning the CHF. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of PPI and Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time.
