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
I wrote yesterday that the rise was likely to pause and it was true that it did not get significantly higher, eventually falling strongly when the USD was hit by the FOMC Meeting Minutes release showing rate hikes were less rather than more likely. The price looks as if it is bottoming but is some way from either key level, although a double bottom at the support could be a great long trade entry.
There is nothing due today concerning the CHF. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time.
