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.
AUD/USD Analysis
The price remains established within a very firm short-term bullish trend, and has flipped areas of former resistance to support. Although there is no long-term trend, there are no key resistance levels before 0.7625, so it looks likely that the price will continue to rise over the next few days at least. However, the pair may find it difficult to break up above an old trend line which has already made its influence felt at the recent swing high, as shown in the chart below.
There is nothing due today concerning the AUD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time.
